New research on the Lemp family has increasingly shown that they relied on dozens of unknown but critical men and women whose work spelled success for the famous brewery. Whether it was the early partners of Adam Lemp such as John William Kaeckell or Louis Bach, or John Baitinger, the brewmaster of William Lemp Sr., we cannot truly understand the story of the familyâs rise without looking at the lives of their employees. Perhaps the most important man to work for the Lemp Brewery for a half-century was Henry Vahlkamp.
