Martin Bachhuber was born in Gebelkofen, Bavaria.  He was well established in his home country when a series of personal tragedies and civil unrest forced him to emigrate, at age 36, to America in the summer of 1846.  He established himself in Mayville, Wisconsin, where he resumed his profession of veternarian.  

In 1855 he purchased a small brewery on Main Street from Benedict Meyer.  He ran the brewery for 12 or 13 years, then sold the brewery in the late 1860s to John Henninger.  The brewery was sold to Martin's son Emeron in 1869 who disposed of it to Leonard Uhl the very next year.  After two more owners in the 1870s the brewhouse became the property of the Ziegler family, who ran it until Prohibition.  

Martin Bachhuber died on April 14th, 1870, at the age of 60 years.
