Bull Beer Pins and Buttons
Description: There’s always been good money in serving up good steaks to hungry folks in Texas and John Zentner's famous steakhouse is no exception. While he started several successful steakhouses, his first well-known venture was the Lowake Inn in Concho County, where according to Zentner, folks came a long way because he sold the only cold beer between San Angelo and Fort Worth, and he had good steaks and burgers to go with it. While the Lowake Inn was a gathering place for locals in this small community, travelers passing through made sure The Inn was on their itinerary and not only did folks come by road, but also by air; a small airstrip within walking distance of the inn allowed pilots of small planes to come and go with ease.
Description: Melbourne, Florida's County Line Saloon was a truly one-of-kind place that catered to all kind of folks looking for a good time on Friday night. While it was very much a country bar, they played host to acts of all kinds from heavy metal and hip hop to punk and of course, country western. The 12,180-square-foot venue in then-rural West Melbourne was first leased out in 1984 and over the next decade it would be a church, a strip club, and then a heavy metal bar before becoming The County Line Saloon that folks would grow to know and love for years to come.

Description: The Acme Brewery of San Francisco was established in 1907 by Leopold Schmidt, owner of the Olympia Brewing Company of Tumwater, WA. Acme's story actually begins with Schmidt's entry into the San Francisco market five years earlier. In Oct. 31, 1902, Schmidt hired Aherns, Pein & Bullwinkel as San Francisco agents for his Olympia Beer Company. In Feb. 1903, after a limited introduction of his product, Schmidt shipped 100 casks, each packed with six doz. quarts of bottled beer, to his agents. This was followed by repeat orders, creating the certainty that a S.F. market was assured for Olympia Beer.
