Lone Star isn’t the best Texas beer. Shiner Bock is.
Lone Star, Ballantine, Colt 45, Country Club, Heileman, National Bohemian, Old Milwaukee, Old Style, Pabst, Pearl, Schlitz, Stroh’s, and many, many, more, are now just trade marks owned by Pabst Brewing Company, which slaps labels with the old names on corn and rice based swill, contract brewed forPabst by Miller, in its massive Fort Worth brewery, and probably other places.
The substance found in the beer cans and bottles sold today under these labels bears about the same relationship to the historical beers, that the Famous Amos Cookies sold in the same grocery stores bears to the chocolate chip cookies that Wally Amos sold at his boutique cookie store on Sunset Blvd. back in the 1970s.
