Springfield eatery honors brewmaster Edward L. Reisch by using beer

Monday is officially Edward L. Reisch Day in Springfield and Route 66 Motorheads Bar & Grill is celebrating the former capital city brewmaster by using his Reisch Gold Top Beer in several dishes. The local brew will be featured in scratch-made brats, as well as the cheese sauce used with the signature Pretzel Tail Pipes and topping horseshoes made with the original Leland Hotel recipe. George Reisch, Edward’s son, will be at the 600 Toronto Road bar and grill at 4:30 p.m. for a meet and greet. The younger Reisch is a retired brewmaster after 37 years with Anheuser-Busch in St. Louis. Edward L. Reisch was the last brewmaster at Reisch Brewing Co., which operated in Springfield from 1849 to 1966. The brewery complex which was razed in 1967 was located on the ground currently home to the Southern Illinois University School of Medicine. Edward Reisch died in July 2019.

George Reisch will accept a proclamation honoring his father

George Reisch admitted that his dad s birthday is always an emotional time for him. Reisch s father was Edward L. Reisch, the last brewmaster of Springfield Reisch Brewing Co., who died in July 2019. George Reisch, who now lives in Wildwood, Missouri, was to be in Springfield Tuesday night to accept a Springfield City Council proclamation declaring March 1 Edward L. Reisch Day.   The day marks what would have been his 102nd birthday. To have this proclamation means a lot to the family, said George Reisch earlier Tuesday. I m just very grateful to Mayor (Jim) Langfelder and (city spokeswoman) Julia (Frevert). A seventh batch of the iconic Reisch Gold Top will arrive at area wholesalers around the end of February, Reisch said. The beer, which is brewed at Potosi Brewing Co. in Potosi, Wisconsin, returned to the market in January 2019 after a 53-year absence.
