History of Home Brewing Company of Indianapolis Indiana
Hook’s Drugstores in 1910. Among the brewery’s early leaders was Albert Leiber, grandfather of Hoosier author
Kurt Vonnegut Jr..  One of HBC’s principal owners was William P. Jungclaus, founder of Indianapolis’
oldest
general contractor (responsible for the construction of the Circle Tower, Columbia Club and IRT to name
a few) though the brewery was designed by architect Hermann Gaul (one time apprentice
to Louis Sullivan) who designed the Saint Mary Church at 317 N. New Jersey St.
At its height production HBC was brewing 35,000 barrels a year, but that came to a sudden end as the increasing
powerful  temperance movement led to the prohibition of alcohol in Indiana on January 1st, 1918, nearly
two years
before the 18th Amendment took effect, banning alcohol nationally. Said the head of the brewery on December 29th,
1917, as HBC  stopped production “the day will dawn again in Indiana, when a man can drink what he wants, when
personal liberty will again be a citizen’s right.” Though HBC tried to hang on, producing a low alcohol “near beer” in
the years after the institution of prohibition, they officially closed up shop in 1922, selling
off their buildings and equipment
eleven years before seeing their prophetic words come true with the passing of the 21st Amendment. Hoosiers
could once again legally take a drink, however it would be 91 years until they would taste one from 24 South Shelby St.
