He is said to have come up to advertise the lemonade mix as Radler. (meaning cyclist/biker, as most of the guest came by bike). Considering Alms where not supplied daily but week or even monthly back then, it makes kind of sense that this was not a days event but went over for some time thus the term had a chance to spread.

Never heard that story, well never heard any story, where the name comes from. Thanx for sharing it!
