Brewery usually means beer and TX prohibition lasted until 1935 I think. I'd say prepro fits.I think they dried sooner also so it may me earlier than you think.[8|][8|]

thanks! I figured it was beer but 24 ounces seems like a lot of beer...

Not when you drink them the way I used to... []

That being said, I have seen "Brewery" bottles from other companies that sold beer, mineral water and soda, so I can't say for sure it ever held beer...

the bottle say's to return it to the Dallas Brewery, so did they do that normally for beer and/or spirits?

ors after Prohibition. The name, Lone Star, however, was used taken up by another San Antonio brewery in 1940. The only other large brewery to start in Texas in the 1880s was the San Antonio Brewing Association. A group of San Antonio businessmen purchased the existing J. B. Behloradsky Brewery (1881–83) and started producing Pearl Beer in 1886. In 1916 Pearl was the largest brewery in Texas, with a capacity of 110,000 barrels a year. Otto Koehler managed the brewery until his death in 1914, when his wife, Emma, took over management and guided the brewery through the lean Prohibition years of 1918 to 1933. Besides the Pearl and Lone Star Breweries, the only other breweries in operation in Texas in 1890 were a few small, locally operated enterprises that were sustained by loyalty, low prices, and fresher products. These breweries included the Herman Frank Home Brewery in Belleville (1882–1918), the Simon Mayer Brewery in Dallas (1895–1900), the Dallas Brewing Company in Dallas (1889–93), the Texas Brewing Company in Fort Worth (1890–1918), the Frederick Probst Brewery in Fredericksburg (1874–95), the Gustave Franke Brewery in Meyersville (1884–1903), the Felix Bachrach Brewery in San Antonio (1890), the Charles Degen Brewery in San Antonio (1879–1911), the Alamo Brewing Association in San Antonio (1888–93), the Lorenz Ochs and George Aschbacher

Most old bottles were to be returned, beer, soda and mineral water for reuse. You'll find milk bottles that say to "Clean before returning bottle"...[]
