Nearly a century ago, Carlos de Aldecoa Bueno’s grandfather started a coffee business in Spain, expanding his enterprise to the fertile soils of Veracruz, Mexico. In 1998, De Aldecoa family bought the then memorable Uncle Ben’s Rice manufacturing facility on Clinton Drive. Now the facility has been turned into a world-class coffee plant and is the largest bourbon distillery west of the Mississippi. The legendary Tejas Beer Brand, with its original recipe and brewing technique, is exclusively available at Giant Texas Distillers.
