Among his customers were the fort and the Dutch church where Deacon Ryckman frequently supplied beer for funerals. His house and brewery were located riverside stretching along today's Broadway. As a producer of one of the most highly sought American commodities, Albert Ryckman became quite wealthy - with a property assessment that rivalled that of the most successful fur traders.
