This is a Magnolia Brewery “Houston Ice and Brewing Co." framed picture. It was a promotional give away advertising some of the beers produced by the brewery. The picture shows a fancy dressed family picnicking by the water enjoying beer that — “ None Better Can Be Brewed”. The Brands are Hiawatha ( that did not last very long ), Southern Select ( that was the most popular and was brewed until prohibition ), Genuine Bohemian ( of witch nothing is known ), and Houston Ice and Brewing Co. ( the original produced brew in early glass bottles ). Note the Magnolia blossoms in the Indian’s hands, tray with beer bottles, the teepee, and a delivery truck. The tray is in the George Fuermann Texas and Houston collection; courtesy of special collections, University of Houston libraries. The piece is 28" x 23". |
