The man who started our local Czech community was Anton Simek. Anton was a weaver, farmer, suspected rabble-rouser, and ultimately a Civil War casualty. He was born in 1827 in eastern Bohemia. He came to America in December of 1852 with his first cousins. Records indicate his name was pronounced as it's spelled here, so it was ultimately recorded as Schimek these many decades later. As an homage to our early Czech roots in the region, we've brewed this Schimek Czech Dark Lager!
