1852–1972 · SOUTH BEND (BOUNDARY); NO ASSOCIATION HOUSE ON THIS GROUND
No brewers' association brewery and no keepers' brewery ever stood on Osceola ground — the art-58-1 test covers it. The longest-lived house in the county record, which is the row's substance, is the Muessel ground itself, and its full run is printed in one unbroken line: family brewery founded 1852; removed to the Elwood Avenue ground about 1865–1868; incorporated as the Muessel Brewing Company 1893; carried through Prohibition by the family company; sold after eighty-four years, on 1 October 1936, to Drewry's Limited; merged into Associated Brewing in 1963; sold to G. Heileman in 1972 and brewing ceased that fall — a 120-year run on one ground, 1852–1972, the longest in this county's brewing record as reached. The second house's run is its own: Kamm & Schellinger, 1850/1853–1951 (art-58-5), ninety-eight to one hundred and one years on the two founding dates, both printed. A formally constituted brewers'-association plant (the South Bend Brewing Association appears in the nomination record as a distribution/manufacture company in the Muessel orbit) was not established at plant strength from open sources; its settler is the Indiana corporation record and the Tribune file, and no association plant is asserted for any ground in this article.
