In 1883, Beer baron Adolphus Busch and his partners built the Lone Star Brewery in San Antonio. It was the first large mechanized brewery in Texas, according to the brand's corporate history. Olympic Brewing Co. bought Lone Star in 1976 and then sold it to G. Heileman Brewing Co. in 1983. Stroh bought Heileman in 1996 and moved Lone Star production out of San Antonio. Pabst acquired the brand in 1999 and returned brewing to the brand's home city. The original Lone Star Brewery is now the San Antonio Museum of Art.
