THE STORY BEHIND
Ladder 419 is a retired firetruck, originally in service in St. Joseph Charter Township, Michigan from 1987 until 2012 . Purchased in 2019 from Facebook Marketplace, it’s become a hit around NW Ohio and has extinguished thirst across Ohio and into Michigan and Indiana.
Tapped 419 features commercial refrigeration, 10 taps and can fit more than 15 ½ bbl kegs in the back (that’s a LOT of beer).
Since 2020, Ladder 419 has served thousands of free root beer floats to our communities heroes - first responders, healthcare workers and educators and was featured on The Kelly Clarkson Show in recognition for it’s service to the community.
