The New York Brewery was founded in 1886 by Rudolph Gorkow. In 1900 it was purchased and its management was consolidated with that of Henco Brewery as the Spokane Brewing and Malting Company, although it continued to function under its own name as a branch operator. In 1903 the branch closed.
In 1902, the Galland-Burke Brewing and Malting Company was also purchased by the Spokane Brewing and Malting Company. All three breweries were operated, at least initially, as branch breweries. The company remained in business until the mid-thirties when the assets were sold to the Sicks-Rainier brewing interests of Puget Sound.
