Indiana Breweries History: Kamm & Schellinger Company The original brewery was built in 1853 in Mishawaka Indiana, by John Wagner,in 1870 the brewery was purchased by a German immigrant, Adolph Kamm. In 1880 Adolph Kamm's brother-in-law, Nicholas Schellinger joined the company which became the Kamm and Schellinger Brewing Company. In 1933, with the repeal of prohibition the Kamm Brewing Company was the first in Indiana to have beer on the market and the brewery continued to prosper. In 1950 a serious fire swept through the building and the brewery was closed in 1951. The various buildings which comprise the brewery complex were used periodically for warehousing. Local businessmen have converted the complex into a family oriented shopping, dining and entertainment center
