The following is taken from "Chicago and its Resources Twenty Years After, 1871-1891: A Commercial History Showing the Progress and Growth of Two Decades from the Great Fire to the Present Time (1892, Chicago Times Co., Chicago, p. 146):

HASTERLICK BROS., wholesale wines and liquors, importers and wholesale dealers in bottlers' supplies, manufacturers of cased liquors, distillers of cordials and whiskeys, and brewers of lager beer, 216 and 218 Randolph Street, Chicago. This is among the leading houses in its line in the West. It carries the largest stock of the finest goods, at all times, the stock on hand seldom, if ever, falling below $400,000 in value, while the sales reach $1,500,000 a year. It occupies the entire five floors, 40 x 200 feet each, in the great building where their offices are located. Their brewery is at the corner of Herndon and Fletcher Streets, and covers grounds 135 x 250 feet, known as the Best Brewing Co., of Chicago. The concern was first started by Ignatz and Charles Hasterlick, as a small liquor store, on a small capital. It began to do a wholesale business in 1886. In 1889 Samuel Hasterlick was admitted to the firm, and the facilities for business were increased. It has now grown to great proportions.

The brothers were all born in Slatina, Bohemia; Ignatz, on September 13, 1858, and removed to Chicago in 1874; Charles was born, October 3, 1860, and came to Chicago with his brother Ignatz; Samuel is the youngest, being born December 16, 1864, and came to Chicago in 1880.


The Best Brewing Co. (est. 1885 as Klockgeter & Co.) was owned by Charles Hasterlik. It bought out the Fairmont Brewing Co. in 1902.

The great grand-son of Simon relates that the family actually consisted of seven children: six brothers (Simon, Adolph, Ignatz, Charles, Henry and Samuel), and a sister, Babette, who was married to Ignatz Neumann. The entire family, including Babette (who arrived last) settled in Chicago. Simon emigrated first and came to live with an aunt, Katherine Steiner. He was followed by Adolph, Ignatz and Charles. Henry, who was blind, came later and finally Samuel along with his parents, Joseph and Esther Hasterlik.

Ignatz Joseph Hasterlik was married to Yetta Mayer, probably in Chicago. Yetta Mayer was born in Mülheim, a small town near Koblenz on the Rhine. She emigrated with her brothers Raphael and Leopold Mayer. In 1906 she lived as a Jetta Hasterlick in Chiowa, Nebraska (thanks to Peter Kleber of Bendorf, Germany for the information on Ignatz and the source of the article above).

Simon and Adolph both left the Hasterlik Bros partnership, although apparently under good terms. Simon continues in the liquor business on his own (1892-1918). Adolph also has a separate listing (1898) but ultimately becomes an insurance agent.

Company advertising shows that their flagship "Daniel Brady" whiskey and rye bottlings came from the Old Times Distillery (KY) and the Penwick distillery (PA), respectively.
