Chicago's Monarch Brewing Co. chain-stitch patch
As with most Chicago breweries that survived Prohibition, Monarch had a shady reputation. Made worse when in 1958 the brewery was purchased by Joe Fusco, longtime Capone associate and Chi-town's original Public Enemy No. 1. Fusco claims to have been the mobster that forced Joe Kennedy out of liquor distribution altogether. Though indicted several times Fusco was never convicted and died in his Florida hotel suite in 1976.
