E ighty miles south of Austin is the
little town of Shiner. Shiner is
home to three important things —
little over 2,000 Texans, the beer
irived with an attitude and the little
irfvery Shiner is famous for, the Spo-
tJ Brewery.
|he Spoetzl Brewery was founded
erman and Czech settlers who
ted a beer with the old-world taste
remembered from their native
htries. These settlers, known as the
ler Brewing Association, built the
tzl Brewery' in 1909, hoping to de-
>p a “home brew” rather than a
brew. ”
1914, the association recruited
mos Spoetzl, who was a Bavarian
a? master. Spoetzl brought to the
brewery an old-world recipe that had
been passed down in his family for
generations.
Two types of beer. Shiner Blonde
and Shiner Bock, originated from this
recipe. Spoetzl bought the brewery in
1915 and used these two recipes to
make the brewery thrive.
Today, the Spoetzl Brewery is the
sixth largest American specialty brew
ery, and produces Shiner Bock, the
number-one selling bock beer in the
country. What makes a bock beer dif
ferent from other beers is in the way
that it is brewed.
The historic brewery has worked
hard to keep its history and heritage as
the oldest independent brewery in
Texas, while growing into a major play
er in die specialty beer industry.
John Hybner, Spoetzl brew mastt
said in a press release that even tho^
the brewery has increased production
by over 600 percent in seven years, the
brewery is dedicated to tradition.
“There is a sense of tradition
throughout the brewery, especially in
the way we brew our beer,” Hybner
said. “Even as we continue to grow, we
still make it just one batch at a time to
keep that old world flavor.”
Texans can go to Shiner to see
where Shiner Bock is made and to see
how this melding of modern-brewing
technology and old-world brewing
techniques make the Spoetzl Brewery
an American original.
Erline Duke, public relations repre
sentative for the Spoetzl Brewery said
the brewery is looking at a record
number of visitors to tour the brewery
this year.

’magination Station brings
tale of heroic woman to B-CS
BY MARIUM MOHIUDDIN
The Battalion
“A!
in’t you boys ever rowed before?
Here, gimme those oars. I’ll show
,you how it’s done.”
The immortal words of the
“Unsinkable” Molly Brown are
still alive today thanks to the im
mense popularity of Titanic. She
was the light of hope and kind
ness among the upper-class and
a breath of fresh air proving that
not all women were idle.
Molly Brown’s life has been por
trayed in movies, a television minis
eries and a Broadway musical.
Opening tonight at the
’Magination Station is the
musical “The Unsink
able Molly Brown. ”
The musical
chronicles the life of
one of America’s leg
ends. Her story spans
from her childhood
in Hannibal, Mo., to
Leadville, Mo.,
where she works in a
tavern. This is where
she meets and mar
ries James Brown,
who strikes it rich
and moves the cou
ple to Denver.
Being a wealthy
but unpolished
woman turns the
snobby aristocra
cy against her.
She experi
ences the
pains of want
ing but not
being de
sired. How
ever, the
high-spirit
ed Irish girl
overcomes
the odds
and becomes a well-traveled, cultured Amer
ican icon.
JP BEATO/’lHE Battalion
Joanna Bush plays Molly Tobin in ’Magination Station’s “The Unsinkable
Molly Brown.” The musical runs weekends for the next three weeks.
Her travels through Europe, and Asia cause
her to become a passenger on the Titanic on
her journey back home.
Randy Wilson, director of “The Unsinkable
Molly Brown” and the artistic director of
’Magination Station, said each year, they open
the season with a big musical. The success of
the movie Titanic made the choice of this
year’s opening show much easier.
“I remember as a child watching the
movie in junior high and just loving it,”
he said. “I love the music, and I love the
spirit of the show. I have always wanted to
do the show, and I have wondered why it
was not revived. I thought if we did the mu
sical, nobody would know who she is,
but now everybody knows her. ”
She may seem to be a
brash, loud woman, but the
play explores her emo
tions as she deals with
the difficulty of not
fitting into upper
society. It also ex
plores her ro
mance with her
husband.
Wilson said
Molly Brown is re
membered be
cause she repre
sents a piece of the
American past.
“It is a slice of
American history,
naive Ameri
cana, set to
some wonder
ful music,” he
said. “She
symbolizes
the last of
the frontier
spirit of
America.
She was an
outspoken
and very
wealthy
woman, but
she showed
that you can be generous and open.
