One of Texas's most recognisable beer brands — 'The National Beer of Texas.' The current Lone Star Brewing Company was chartered in 1940 and revived a name whose original 1884 San Antonio brewery had closed in 1919 during Prohibition; the two companies share only the name and city, not corporate lineage (the 1884 brewery produced Alamo Beer, never a beer called Lone Star). Today the brand is owned by Pabst and contract-brewed. Willie Nelson endorses it. Roadhouses, honky-tonks and backyard cookouts across Texas pour it cold; the 'Since 1884' on every can is trademark heritage rather than continuous operation.
