Lieber Brewing Company. Peter Lieber was General Oliver Morton’s private secretary during the Civil War. He an his brother purchased the brewing firm Gack and Biser and renamed it P. Lieber Brewing Company. Since then it has been bought and sold three more times, operating under the names C.F. Schmidt Brewing Company, Casper Maus Brewery and finally the Indianapolis Brewing Company in 1887.
Over the course of its operation, the Indianapolis Brewing Company had a huge impact on Indianapolis economy. As Indianapolis’ oldest brewery, it had a measurable impact on Indianapolis business and Indianapolis society. It even sponsored a “Negro League” baseball team.
