From the record
Summary
Type: Current brewery / family beverage company. Ownership as recorded: FAMILY_COMPANY. Company roots reach Gray's Bottling Works in 1856. Official company history says beer brewing stopped in the late 1890s while soft drinks continued; Brewer Magazine reports beer brewing resumed in 1993 after a 98-year gap. Canonical brewery start for the current beer-brewing phase is therefore 1993, while beverage-company lineage remains 1856. [Wisconsin Pass 12]
