   Audrey,
   I’m Douglas Fleckenstein, living in Newburgh NY.
   What’s the history of the brewery and the truck?
   Ernst Fleckenstein was connected to my Grandfather, Frank Fleckenstein from Duluth Minnesota.
   Looking to hear from you.
   Merry Christmas
   Regards
   Doug Fleckenstein

     My knowledge of the Fleckensteins and the brewery is limited, especially since I didn’t grow up in Faribault. Your best source is Brian Schmidt of Faribault. He collects Fleckenstein memorabilia and knows the brewery history well. I have reached out to him and, if you’re OK with it, I will share your contact info with him. He is active in the Rice County Historical Society, which is another resource on the brewery’s history.

     Here’s a link to some info on the RCHS website (scroll to the end): https://rchistory.org/exhibits/
