| Abstract | The author's father and uncle were in the creamery business in 1933 when Prohibition ended. "Their old Comal Creamery had two big refrigeration rooms and they were the key to my father entering the beer distribution business." They began with distribution of beer from Anheuser-Busch and Schlitz, later nearly all brands available in Texas (except for Pearl and Lone Star), and then won an award for distributing the most cases of Grand Prize Beer, which was founded by Howard Robard Hughes. The author met Howard Hughes at the award ceremony for his father, held in Houston. |
