Why this matters
Ownership as recorded: Archivo Nacional records Luis Otto von Schröter receiving permission in 1853 to import hops and barley to establish a brewery. Contemporary 1856 advertising identifies Joy y von Schröter as makers/sellers of Cerveza de Torres; later historical research records production ending in 1861.. [Costa Rica Pass 10]
