Ludwig W. Schulter, master brewer
In his youth, Ludwig W. Schulter worked in the breweries around Allentown, Pa., and that eventually led to his chosen career as a master brewer in Cincinnati.

Schulter was a member of the Master Brewers Association of America and the chairman of the organization's convention when it was held in Cincinnati.
He also was a member of the St. Francis Society of Allentown, Pa., an usher for St. Teresa of Avila Church and a member of the St. Joseph Men's Society at St. Teresa of Avila.
"He was a very fun-loving person," Schulter said. "He was a family man. He wanted all of us kids home for holidays and so forth."
