Edna Gruber holds the Title of Batavia's most Famous Madam👸…even after she was banned for life!
She is also the great-grandmother 👵 of Eli Fish Brewing Company's Head Brewer Adam 🫶
Our girl CeeJ filled us in on this legend. Check it...
👉 In the street of Edna Gruber was called, "Madame Edna" 🫅
👉 Madame Edna was LITERALLY a MADAME! No, not the fortune teller type 🔮 or a French 🇫🇷 Mademoiselle...The PIMP 💵💵 TYPE!
👉 Known for her charity and her connections, she was highly respected in . And known for her HUSTLE...
👉Madame Edna grew up SUPER poor, scrubbing floors🧽🧼 and taking any job that could put 🍽️ on her nonexistent table.
👉She dropped out of school when she was 13 and had her daughter, Florence when she was a young 15.
👉 Madame Edna dreamed of “making it”, but knew no one was coming to the rescue…
🧐 So what did she do? She bought a hotel!
👉 In 1926, Madame Edna (age of 34) purchased the Batavia Central Hotel 🏨 and Renamed it the “Palace Hotel,”
But she wasn’t renting rooms 😈... Madame Edna created a BROTHEL!
👉 The rumor is, Madame Edna was r***d at a young age. She vowed to never let another girl go thru that experience so she created a space where women were in control of their bodies and choices.
And of course, in true Madame Husler form, she made some serious cash 💸 while doing it...
👉The deal was a 50/50 payout in the Palace 👑 which highly favored Madame pocket's! The other 1/2 the girls had to split with their pimps.
👉 When it came to her 💵 , Madame was about hers!
On the other hand ✋ when it came to giving 🤲, Edna's generosity is still talked about today…
👉 Edna supported the community endlessly doing things like buying toys, shoes👞, First Communion dresses 👗, clothes 👔 for children, and feeding the hungry.
👉 She even gave uniforms to the police👮♀️ and fire department 🚒. Which is genius as she certainly wasn't one that kept her nose 👃 out of trouble.
👉 Madame Edna was a rule maker, not a rule follower. She was powerful 💪 and wasn’t afraid to use her power…
From politicians 👨💼 in her back pocket, to the - no one was messing with The Madame - not EVEN the MAFIA!
🤫Rumor has it, the dirt she had on important men in town kept her in clear. 🤫 (yes, even the mafia was shook!)
👉 As hard as the police 👮♀️ tried, none of her arrests would end with time - only a FINE 💰.
👉Unfortunately her luck🍀 ran out and she was finally arrested one last time.🚔
👉 A jury of six men and six women found her guilty. She was sentenced to ☝️ year, and ordered 🚫🚫 to never return to Batavia, NY again!
🙌 Edna was a very strong and determined woman. She was a , a , a caretaker, a philanthropist, a hustler, a controller, and IS a MF ! 💪
And of course, we can't forget… the head brewer, Adam’s great-grandmother 🍻
We can see why the name was booked 🙌. It serves as a strong name for a superb beer.
BEER NOTES:
🍻Eli Fish’s Belgian-style saison got caught red-handed. Like its namesake, Madame Edna, this liquid had a complex profile.
🍻A perfect mugshot of a light-colored beer. The 6%er was bubbly and bright with citrus earthy tones. Definitely 💯 coming back for more. Eli Fish’s beer just made the 'most wanted' list in our book!🍻💪
