Let There Be Beer!

Colección Porfirio Díaz, Legajo 10, Documento 3693

Felipe Arellano, periodista, Nueva York, to Presidente Porfirio Diaz
30 de mayo, 1885
Informa que en San Luis Misouri acordó con el señor Busch la creación de una cervecería en México.   Informa que partieron las personas encargadas de estudiar el terreno de la nueva cervecería, a cargo del señor Haussman


Mr. Busch, of St. Louis Missouri, is interested in establishing a brewery in Mexico.  Those in charge of finding and studying the parcel for the new brewery are on their way, under the direction of Mr. Haussman.

A century before Anheuser-Busch would invest in the Modelo company (maker of Corona, amongst other, more delicious, beers), apparently their interest was aroused by the possibilities of this as-not-yet beerful country. 

A few weeks after this letter was sent, Díaz replied that he had not yet had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Haussman, but would give him all possible aid upon arrival.  No further mention is to be found.
