The oldest name on this list that stood out to me is Weihenstephan brewery, founded in 1040 in Bavaria, Germany. They have some of the finest lagers I have ever tried. If you enjoy crisp, refreshing lager beers, I highly recommend their beers. My favorite one is probably the Weihenstephaner Hefeweissbier, followed by the Hefeweissbier Dunkel. Note: I am not affiliated in any way with the company, I just highly enjoy…

Beer nazi here... Hefeweizen/weissbier is not a lager. Lagers are cold bottom-fermented beers. Hefeweizen is warm top-fermented beer.

There sure is alot of pub and accommodation entries, but then that is one area that technology and indeed, industrialization and the other progressive phases in society have not impacted as much as other industries. On a positive and encourage note - not one single manufacturer of weapons listed at all.

>Beer nazi You may want to reconsider this phrasing.

The US were founded in 1787, Columbus reached America in 1492, so how do you expect to find companies there older than that?

There were people in America before Columbus got there. I guess it's a safe bet though, that even if they had companies, they didn't survive.
