The portfolio of brands produced by S&P Industries is something out of the 1950s. Its beers were among some of the nation’s biggest regional breweries during the postwar era.
Now, the breweries are all gone. S&P’s beers exist in name only. Among its brands:
- Pabst Blue Ribbon – “What’ll you have? “
- Pearl – “Brewed in Eleven Hundred Springs, Texas. “

- Stroh – “Fire Brewed at 2000 degrees! “
