True Confessions: Great Grandmas was a criminal. Established as a “soft drink parlor” Kegel’s Inn was actually a prohibition speakeasy selling 20 cent whiskey and 15 cent beer brewed in the basement. in 1927 Anna Kegel, my great grandma was caught selling “intoxicating Liquor” during a police raid. Although prohibition agents are no longer breaking the bock barrels, this beer is soo good it feels like it should be illegal!
