Talk:Genesee Brewing Company/Archives/2012

This company brews many more beers than listed

Check this link. Perhaps a table would be useful. I have tried to improve this article today. I feel sad that such an important part of a United States industry is no longer owned by an American company. It is now only an American company by location.1archie99 (talk) 14:22, 2 November 2012 (UTC)

I wouldn't discount the value of location. By most accounts, the new owners are going to be fairly hands-off, so there won't be much change from any significant point of view. Powers ^T 01:39, 6 November 2012 (UTC)

I later found out that the owner I listed in the info is a subsidiary of a company that sounds like it could be an American company but alas here is the text from the Wikipedia Cerveceria Costa Rica article: "Florida Ice & Farm Co. started in 1908 in La Florida de Siquirres, Costa Rica. It was started by the Lindo Morales brothers. At first, the company used to make ice for the banana ships that would come to Limon. In 1912, the Lindo Brothers bought the Cerveceria y refresqueria Traube, which had been started by Jose Traube, in Cartago. From then on, FIFCO's main business went from producing ice, to producing beverages, and through its main operation, it would be later known as Cerveceria Costa Rica." I think it best to leave the ownership as is in the info box.1archie99 (talk) 09:23, 9 November 2012 (UTC)
