Next Saturday, we will raise our glasses in honor of a great Bavarian, a great Anaheimian. On Saturday, May 28th we will be honoring the 167th birthday of Friedrich Conrad. While it’s true he may not have slain any dragons nor leaked the new Star Wars movie title, he did make notable contributions to the city of Anaheim. How, you may ask? He made beer.
The Anaheim Gazette noted in 1890 that Conrad’s beer “appears to be fully equal if not superior to the celebrated Anheuser beer of St. Louis. Besides it is a stictly Orange County product and all who are in the habit of using beer should give it a trial if only to encourage home industries.”

If you also encourage home industries & use beer, you should come join in on the fun! Here are all the details:
