Johann Gottlieb Heileman (January 6, 1824 in Kirchheim unter Teck, Württemberg – February 19, 1878 in La Crosse, Wisconsin) was the founder of the G. Heileman Brewing Company in La Crosse, Wisconsin. Heileman founded the brewery in 1858.[1][2] His business strategy focused on producing the best local beer, rather than expanding nationwide like his company's contemporary Anheuser-Busch.[3]
