Begun by the powerful Ostrogski family who gave their name to the building, it currently houses the Fryderyk Chopin Society and Fryderyk Chopin Museum.
However, around 1866 the brewery adopted the name of one of the founders' associates, Wilhelm Szopen, possibly because of the latter's surname being similar to the name of a highly popular Polish-French composer Fryderyk Chopin (sometimes written as Fryderyk Szopen in Polish).
The Fryderyk Chopin Museum at the Fryderyk Chopin Society in Warsaw was established in the 1930s.
