The banked brewers article prints the county's brewing men only as unnamed Portage Township and South Bend figures; the checklist asks for the neighbouring houses by name at pointer size, and the three houses of South Bend and Mishawaka are named here. First and greatest, Muessel: begun in 1852 by Christopher Muessel of Arzberg, Germany, the first of the three to brew; incorporated as the Muessel Brewing Company in 1893; reorganised into Drewry's Limited in 1936; and brewing until the autumn of 1972, after the G. Heileman purchase of that year — its complex entered on the National Register on 28 December 2000. Second, Kamm & Schellinger of Mishawaka: from a small operation of the 1850s, purchased in 1870 by Adolph Kamm and partners, Nicholas Schellinger joining in the 1880s, incorporated as the Kamm & Schellinger Brewing Company on $65,000 of capital, its brand "Pilsner," ceasing operations in 1951. Third, the South Bend Brewing Association of the article above, 1903 to 1950. The pointer is the whole of the entry: names, dates, and ends — the brewing history of the county seat is its own build's work, not this town's.
