Visit our Templeton Rye display at the Des Moines Airport

Monday, May 19th, 2008

If you’ve traveled through the Des Moines International Airport lately, you may have stumbled upon what looks like Main Street Templeton, Iowa. That’s our new airport display, which includes a special Templeton and Prohibition Era history section.

Next time you make it through airport security, reward yourself by stopping by the display and taking a stroll down the historic streets of Templeton. If you happen to work up a thirst, just stop at the Capitol City Brew Pub next door — now serving Templeton Rye. We promise you that your flight will be much more enjoyable afterwards.

As always, please enjoy responsibly.

TR stories: Bringing hospitality to Chicago

Tuesday, May 13th, 2008

Garland of Manning, Iowa, sent us this story about a man named George Blade, from Irwin. He writes:

George Blade would ship 8-10 cars of cattle to Chicago several times a year. They would load them on the cars in Irwin and then the train would also stop in Manning to pick up more cattle. While they stopped in Manning, there would be a team of horses and a wagon that would back up to one of George Blade’s cattle cars and unload six or nine sacks of cattle feed.

Upon arriving in Chicago, George would always see that these sacks of cattle feed would get up to his hotel room. After the cattle were sold, the word would go out to the commission men and buyers and various other people that George Blade from Irwin was having some “hospitality” at such-and-such room. By now I’m sure you have figured out that the sacks of cattle feed also contained several bottles of Templeton Rye.
