Context: Herman Weiss was a Prussian born brewmaster.  He immigrated to Texas in the 1880s with his wife Maria.  Herman Weiss was living in San Antonio in 1900, when the 1900 hurricane destroyed Galveston.  Perhaps seeking opportunity in the new city, he moved to Galveston and started Weiss and Son's brewery.  His sons, Herman Jr. and Charles, helped him at the brewery.  Herman was offered the position of head brewmaster in 1909 at the newly formed Shiner Brewery which later became the Spoetzl Brewery.  According to the 1910 census, Herman Weiss Jr. and Charles Weiss worked at the brewery as well.  Herman was then offered a position in San Antonio as the head brewmaster for the San Antonio Brewing Association which later became the Pearl Brewing Company.

Susannah Oland (1818–1885) was an Englishwoman who immigrated to Canada.  She was the creator of a beer recipe which became the basis for founding Canada's oldest independent brewery, Moosehead Brewery.  Though she was credited with running the operation as well as acting as chief brewer, the business was incorporated in the name of her husband and sons.  When her husband died, the partners sold their interests to a manager, whom Oland was able to buy out eight years later.  She continued running the business until her death.

Hibernia Brewing Ltd. was an American brewery company, the successor firm to the Walter Brewing Company, located in Eau Claire, Wisconsin.  Under the leadership of Michael Healy, president and chief stockholder of Hibernia, the brewery introduced several specialty brews considered innovative for their time and became one of the first producers in the American Midwest of what now are considered to be craft beers and ales.  At its peak, Hibernia produced over 30,000 barrels of beer per year, employed about 50 workers, and had a market range that included Minneapolis–Saint Paul, St. Louis, Missouri, and Omaha, Nebraska, with success also in Denver and Boulder, Colorado to the west and south; and Chicago, Milwaukee, and suburban Cleveland, Ohio to the east.  The brewery quickly earned a reputation for quality products, aided by the receipt of a second place award for its Hibernia Dunkel Weizen in the Great American Beer Festival of 1985.  However, the release of underpasteurized beer to new markets was an economic disaster.  Although the brewmaster and assistant brewmaster were fired immediately and insurance covered the recall, it was impossible to get the consumer to give them a second chance.  This combined with increasing competition from the growing number of companies passing themselves off as brewers, when in fact they were sales/marketing entities that outsourced the manufacturing of their beers.
