An old Texas beer?

One of the most gloriously tacky beer gifts ever! Click to see more the UNOB beer gifts HQ.

I grew up living in Fort Worth, Texas. In 1953 my father was stationed at Carswell Air Force base. I mention this only to point out that some of my dad's drinking buddies had tried Lone Star beer, Pabst and a beer I cannot find any infomation of. The beer is called Jacks.

As a kid, I thought all beer came from Texas! But as tme passed I had gone to California, after my tour in South East Asia, during the late 60s and didn't return to Texas.

I do not recall if this beer had been brewed in Texas or elsewere. Could you please help me out and correct me if I am mistaken.

Went to N.O.La. a coupla years ago, the old Jax brewery is now a tourist mall and I believe we were told the rights to Jax name had been bought by some other brewer- however I didn't see it once during the 4 days we were there, however the Abita was on tap everywhere!
