Esser changed to Alamo Ice & Brewing in 1884. At 31 Cameron Street. Lone star brewing started in 1884-1918 at 120 Jones Ave. LEON.

The information about San Antonio bottlers and brewers online is fragmented and some of it is incorrect. Not to mention none of the sites cite sources for the information. I have some notes that I will have to go through, but I find it strange that William Esser and Otto Kohler gave the tour on opening day of the new Lone Star Brewing Co.

My Source of Information is the 1995 American Breweries II Book by Dale P. Van Wieren.

Battle Creek! I love that town! Are they lacking a comma after Battle Creek? That's a grammatical inaccuracy if so. I cannot see.

Well, what I've read in local newspaper articles from the 1800s contradicts the dates in the book. I just downloaded the archeological paper about the bottle dump, and it states that the brewery was established in 1875 and was purchased in 1884 by Adolphus Busch. Also that Esser remained as proprietor of the Lone Star Brewing Co. until 1891.

My book does not go into fine detail, only list brewery names & dates & sometimes address's. It does say Aldophus Busch was president of company.

Funny they call him prop. until 1891 a Historical Curiosity. Why do they use the words Historical Curiousity? Could it be because his headstone sez he died in August 23rd of 1887? LEON. http://lavonnebradfield.tripod.com/nw.html
