Independent Breweries Company
[edit | edit source]The Independent Breweries Company is a defunct syndicate founded in St. Louis, Missouri, by the combination of Griesediecks'[1] National Brewery,[2] Columbia (Alpen Brau), the Gast brewery in Baden, A.B.C.,[1] and Wagner Brewing Company.[2] This combination was ill fated due to high overhead with too many executives and low profits forcing IBC into receivership. The IBC Root Beer was the main survivor of the syndicate.[1]
