Lone Star Brewing Company
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.

How we measure this
Two thresholds are at work here:
- The signature list shows notes that recur in at least 6% of this brewery's beers. A low bar — enough to flag a pattern, not high enough to call it an exclusive trait.
- The peer comparison below shows only notes where this brewery's coverage differs from similar breweries by at least 20 percentage points. A higher bar — enough to call a real difference, not a nudge.
A note can appear on the signature list without appearing in the peer comparison: it recurs here, but similar breweries do the same thing.
