In the Roaring Twenties, Jack “Legs” Diamond and his mob supplied beer to “speakeasies” in New York City from a brewery in the Catskills. “Dutch” Schultz (Arthur Flegenheimer) and his mobsters operated a brewery in Brooklyn. An unusual operation was the Linden Brewery in Lindenhurst, Long Island. Apparently, Otto Eichhammer, the owner, had some strong political connections and this plant operated all during Prohibition, producing regular beer (no “near beer”). It supplied beer to “Baloney John’s,” a popular “speakeasy” in Lindenhurst, Long Island. This establishment was run by John Rechnagel, a baloney butcher from Glendale.
