PACKthePUB

To all Three Rivers Chapter members and guests,

The monthly meeting of the three Rivers Chapter of the BCCA will be held this Thursday, June 18, at 7:00 pm at the Redwood Inn at 1432 West Main Street in Fort Wayne. This month's meeting was previously scheduled to be at the home of Jim Van Every but Jim had to cancel due to unforeseen circumstances

The 3Rivers Chapter, craft beer and collectibles club was originally formed back in the early 70s, by a group of local area beer can collectors. Membership now primarily consists of craft beer enthusiasts that collect anything and everything beer related, with a few history nerds and home-brewers mixed in. Come out to the Redwood and have a pizza roll and a beer with us, non-members are welcome.

I look forward to seeing everyone there.

Sincerely, Mike Newton Secretary - Three Rivers Chapter

BUCKEYE BREWERY

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

Le Tour De Fort

 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.
