After the creation of the German Empire, the brewery became part of Memeler Aktien-Brauerei & Destillation on September 15, 1871. It passed to Lithuanian control when the Memel Territory was annexed by Lithuania in 1923. The brewery was then administered by Memeler Ostquell Brauerei GmbH in 1940 after the territory's annexation by Nazi Germany the preceding year. After the restoration of Klaipėda to Lithuanian SSR in 1945 following the Second World War, the brewery again became Lithuanian.
