Summary
[edit]DescriptionOld Falstaff Brewry.jpg |
English: Adolphus Busch and William J. Lemp of St. Louis were both major stockholders that raised $400,000 to found the Galveston Brewing Company in 1895. Since Galveston is an island, water was the critical problem. By 1895, the city of Galveston had a water works department that utilized piped in water from the Alta Loma wells on the mainland, eighteen miles from the coast. In 1906, several wells were dug that gave them a combined water supply of two million gallons per day. The Galveston brewery was so well constructed that it survived the Hurricane of 1900 caused the world loss of life due to a natural disaster in U.S. history. It destroyed most of Galveston and killed an estimated 6,000 people. After prohibition forced the legal production of beer to cease, the brewery produced a nonintoxicating cereal beverage called Galvo. This was basically the beer with the alcohol removed, or "near beer." This product proved unsuccessful, and the brewery removed the brewing equipment to produce soft drinks as the XXX Company. It opened again in 1934 as the Galveston-Houston Breweries, Inc. |
