That's about 100 miles from San Antonio. Since the focus of this story was on SA I didn't include Shiner. If you want info about Shiner you can <a href="http://www.shiner.com/page/about-us" rel="nofollow">find it here</a>.<br /><br />BB - I was just the opposite. I liked Lone Star but didn't like Pearl. And Blue Star is a pretty cool area. Next time you visit let me know.CenTexTimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04026518638421849111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1321000796775197665.post-62686297364652698272015-03-26T19:15:57.266-05:002015-03-26T19:15:57.266-05:00We drank a lot of Pearl bear in our San Marcos day...We drank a lot of Pearl bear in our San Marcos days, but I was never fond of Lone Star. There was a cheap beer back then called Castle. It had great puzzles on the caps. <br /><br />Last time we were in San Antonio, my husband thought he would be really good and let me tour some art galleries in an area called Blue Star Art Center. It being Sunday all the art galleries were closed, but the micro brewery and bicycle shop was open. My hubby was in hog heaven.Bag Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01885412195900280096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1321000796775197665.post-34616549817953470392015-03-26T19:11:03.377-05:002015-03-26T19:11:03.377-05:00What?

Not so. During the Depression Coors, forecasting the end of Prohibition, built a new brewery using cheap labor. All concrete moved by wheel barrow up scaffolding. The worker was paid anywhere from 5 to 10 cents after he dumped his load. I heard this from the older generation who wouldn't drink Coors if it was free.<br /><br />Denver had a great beer, Tivoli, that closed in the 1960's. The building now houses the student center for Metro State, or whatever it is called now.Well Seasoned Foolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16670165728759453075noreply@blogger.com
