Texas Spring/Summer Thread

Are you familiar with Lone Star's history? It's been owned by lots of different brewing companies.:laughing: I visited the Lone Star Brewery a couple of times in 1962 when it was a really interesting place with the Buckhorn Saloon & Museum, part of which has been moved downtown a block from the Alamo. Lone Star Brewing Company - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mr. Willard Mercier, a long time friend, passed a couple of weeks ago after working for Lone Star for 62 years.

They have been around the block, like a lot of companies after the business models changed in the late 1990's.It was brewed in San Antonio :cincodemayo: for years then Longview then Ft. Worth :thumbsup: and after that I lost track but it's my old time favorite and still the best!

It never tasted the same after the moved from San Antonio.

As with many breweries, they used to have free samples at the brewery in San Antonio, and I'll never forget taking a cousin there to see the "Hall of Horns", "Hall of Fins", etc. (very interesting free museum) in 1962. Then we went into the "Buckhorn Saloon". I was 22 and my cousin was 20. The bartender didn't even ask about ID, just said to me, "Would you like a beer, sir?" then he turned to my cousin and asked, "And would you like a root beer, sir?"

When we left, my cousin was grumbling about not getting a beer, and I told him I thought it was real nice of them to have root beer for the kiddies.

I believe he was my friend's uncle. Family name from Nixon Texas.

That's correct Kyle. "Wilbur Bob" is buried in Nixon.

As far as I know Lone Star was his first and only job.

I had met him once, many years ago. Around 1983 maybe? Seemed a good old boy back then.

Jisgren,
Where did you get him? What breed is he? I'm looking now to get a puppy to take Booger's place by my side and my tractor's fresh dirt.
hugs, Brandi
