HOUSTON - A woman is seeking more than $1 million in damages for injuries she received after a keg fell on her foot while she was working at Minute Maid Park.
In 1914, Bavarian immigrant Kosmos Spoetzl landed in the German-Czech farming community of Shiner, Texas, 90 miles east of San Antonio, by way of eight years working at the Pyramid Brewery in Cairo, Egypt. Acquiring the local Shiner Brewing Association, he launched a legendary Texas beer using his secret family recipe and local pure artesian well water.
The honor is the second in six years for Saint Arnold Brewing Company, which was one of four Houston-area beer makers to medal this year at the annual national competition.
