Van Der Bönerbosch Brewing Company, LLC

The Böner story actually began 18 years ago, debuting in Baltimore, Maryland as a fictional Beer Company t-shirt. Created by one of the company owners--Bob Lesch--the shirt was sold via newspaper ads and wholesale in Ocean City, MD t-shirt shops. It was a big seller, with the slogan, "Pop a Böner!" spreading across the city and beach. But then Bob got a 'real' job at a bank, so the t-shirt business was put on-the-shelf. Fast-forward to 2009......Bob is telling the Böner story to a business colleague--Betsy Smith--and she blurts out, "Well, with the age of the internet, let's resurrect Böner!". Bob agreed and along with a third partner--Wayne Wang--the business team began the 'new' Böner t-shirt line. But this time around, a funny thing happened..............while folks liked the t-shirts the team offered, they REALLY wanted the beer! Demand increased even more with the debut of Böner YouTube videos, including this one YouTube Link. This convinced the crew to research 'how to' create the beer.
