EL PASO BREWING

It was in 1900 that Alfred Courchesne established the original El Paso Brewing and Ice Co. to serve thirsty cowboys, businessmen, explorers and gold seekers. El Paso was becoming infamous for being the "Six Shooter Capital of the World" and the original "Sin City." Scores of saloons, dance halls, gambling establishments, and houses of prostitution opened on the main streets. Eventually, El Paso leaders cleaned up the lawlessness, and Prohibition in the 1920s spelled doom for brewing in El Paso... El Paso Brewing Company's mission is to become a recognized regional brewery that provides an outstanding variety of high quality specialized and seasonal beers.
