The visit of J. Rieger & Co. in is this weekend. I am very fascinated by the history of the Rieger family and the distillery. The history of J. Rieger & Co. goes way back to 1877 when Jacob Rieger immigrated to America from Goritz, Austria/Hungary. His name was changed from Rizor upon arrival with his wife Mary, son Alexander, and daughter Sallie. He moved to Kansas City in the early 1880s and opened a grocery store. You need to visit the distillery. I look forward to my time at J. Rieger.
