The Galveston Brewing Company, established in 1896 with significant local investment, became a cornerstone of Texas' brewing industry. Known for its innovative facilities and popular beers like "High Grade" and "Seawall Bond," the brewery played a vital role in the community, including contributing to recovery efforts after the 1900 hurricane. Despite surviving Prohibition by producing non-alcoholic drinks, the brewery eventually became part of Falstaff Brewery, which closed its Galveston facility in 1982.
