• 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
