  • Started in 1953 by Bill Samuals 
    • Took his families 170 year old recipe and set it on fire
      • By accident of course
  • The original recipe was made with rye
    • Not gonna lie kind of upset now that he set it on fire
  • Bill decided to have a little experiment since instead of time to come up with mashbill 
    • He made loaves of bread
  • Markers is famous for their distinct bottle shape and that red wax dipping, which was all thanks to Bill’s wife. 
    • He had everything to do with the flavor and nothing to do with the look
