The Bavarian Brewing Company ceased to exist on Feburary 1st, 1959 when the company was sold to the International Breweries of Detroit, Michigan. International Breweries ran the Covington brewery until it was closed in 1966. 

The Bavarian Brewing Company may be long gone, but the building that housed the brewery can still be seen on the north bound side of I-75 in Covengton Ky.
