Article Flow[edit]

Holy cow this article is bad. Huge chunks of info seem to be missing and the order is way off. I'll try to work on it, but until I get other projects completed I doubt I'll be able to dedicate the time. --Brownings 14:23, 9 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, it's pretty bad -- and I grew up a couple of miles from the original brewery, so I have a natural interest. When I get caught up on making money, I'll try to help, too. --Michael K. Smith 22:18, 6 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Is this the brand "Alamo Beer" is based on from the King of the Hill series?—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 75.23.70.1 (talk • contribs) 08:37, 17 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed. This article's a mess. What the heck is the "Buckhorn" collection? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.199.21.97 (talk) 15:31, 5 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The Buckhorn collection is a huge collection of animal horns. I can't remember the full story behind it off the top of my head, but at some point Lone Star built or bought the collection and then kept adding on to it. When Lone Star owned it (1950s - 1970s or so), the collection was showcased in their brewery, just south of downtown San Antonio. From what I understand then, and even now, the collection is the largest in the world. When Lone Star started falling on hard times they sold the collection. Today the collection is still in San Antonio. The current owner built The Buckhorn Saloon, a restaurant & bar, and used the collection as the establishment's "theme." --Brownings (talk) 16:30, 5 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The article also says the S.A. brewery closed in 2000 but has been vacant since 1996? Huh? At any rate, 1996 sounds more like it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.69.204.131 (talk) 21:29, 13 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Beer question[edit]

The Lone Star Bock of the 1990s deserves a mention. Also, is Lone Star a lager? A pilsner? etc. -- Gyrofrog (talk) 15:29, 4 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Lone Star and Lone Star Light are both pale lagers. Their types can be found in the infobox on the right hand side, toward the bottom of the box. --Brownings 16:55, 4 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Based in San Antonio?[edit]

Is it really fair to say that Lone Star is based in San Antonio anymore? As best as I can tell, it's run from Pabst headquarters in Woodridge, Illinois, and all that's in San Antonio today is a datacenter. Should we recategorize? Dunkelweizen (talk) 12:16, 11 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yes sir, you are correct. With Pabst moving out of SA and up to Woodridge, nothing associated with Pabst or its brands should mention SA. Well, maybe the overall Pabst article should mention that at one time it was based in SA, but definately not each brand. A data center hardly counts as a large company presence. --Brownings (talk) 17:18, 11 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
