The Buckeye Lager Beer Co. of Toledo Ohio became the first large, out of town beer distributor in Fort Wayne in 1878. After the closing of Riedmiller’s Eagle Brewery, Buckeye began leasing the ice house and warehouse for storage. Beer was transported by rail and horse drawn wagons during the winter months and stored on ice for summer distribution. Local saloon owners had Buckeye Lager on tap and several local bottlers offered returnable bail seal type bottles. The warehouse was located at the corner of Riedmiller’s and Eagle Street, just three blocks west of the current Mad Anthony Brewery. Buckeye Beer is still available, and being produced by the Maumee Bay Brewing Co. of Toledo, Oh. Photos HERE There is a great article about the history of Buckeye Beer HERE

Despite the weather, 1400 local bicyclists turned out for yesterdays Le Tour de Fort, bicycle pub tour. Designed to raise awareness, and support for our Veterans suffering from Post-Traumatic Disorder (PTSD), this event continues to grow better each year, and I have learned to do a better job of pacing myself. Thanks to all our local sponsors: The Deck, Columbia St. West, O’Reilly’s, Pint and Slice, JK O’Donnel’s, Henry’s, Pedal City, O’Sullivans, and Deer Park.

I would like to thank James Khan, and everyone at The Hoppy Gnome for inviting us to their resent menu review. Everything was DELICIOUS! I can't wait to order a flight of beers and a flight of your tasty tacos. Wish you much success.
