Henry Hubach was born in Bad Dürkheim, Bavaria, the son of a brewer.  He learned the brewer's art under his father's wing and upon completing his training he emigrated to America.  He was 22 years old when he arrived in 1865 and he married Emma Rehfuss at age 27 in 1870.  He learned the ropes of the American brewing business in Philadelphia, Cincinnati and Milwaukee, and when he felt he had learned enough and earned enough to establish a brewery of his own, he found a place along the Maumee River.

In 1874 Hubach and Leonhard Friedrich partnered in the Wayne Street brewery in Fort Wayne, Indiana.  They ran it for about a year before Friedrich sold his shares to Hubach.  In 1878 the Hubach family moved 125 miles east to Tiffin Ohio where Henry leased the old City Brewery from Franz J. Wagner.  When Wagner died Henry purchased the company from his widow for $10,000.  As his children grew and became yet another generation of Hubach brewers, the firm simply become known as Hubach's Brewery. 

He ran the brewery in Tiffin right up until his death at age 72 on the 16th of June, 1915.  His two sons continued the brewery for a few more years but National Prohibition closed it down for good in 1920.
