Joseph Caldrich & Bros. Brewing Company

Joseph Caldrich & Bros. Brewing Company is the oldest and most successful brewery in Sky Texas. With a wide variety of delicious brews, it produces 40% of all fermented beverages consumed on Earth. Its products are a staple in bars everywhere and have made beverage history with their rapid success after Sky Texas opened up to the rest of the world.

## Origin

Founded 200 years before Sky Texas opened up to the rest of the world by Joseph Caldrich and his brothers Stewart and Glennigan. The Caldrich family owned a modest farm in a formerly unincorporated part of Sky Texas. When their land was claimed by The Triple Barony, they had to sell their grain in a larger and more competitive market. Unable to compete with corporate farms, Joseph Caldrich had an idea to save the farm: using their grain to make and sell beer, a market that was largely untapped at the time. It was a risky move, to be sure, but it turned out to be the best decision he ever made.

## Success

The Caldrich family soon found success in their new venture. Within a year of starting their brewery, their first beer, Caldrich Family Lager, was sold in every bar in their area. Within another three years, it was sold in half the bars in Houston. The Triple Barony usually crushed or outright bought any business that boomed this quickly in their territory, as it didn't infringe on any of their key industries they let the Caldrich family operate independently on one condition: they had to use The Triple Barony as suppliers for fuel, transportation/delivery, and materials.

Another advantage the Caldrich family had was the superb quality of Sky Texan grain. The grain grown on Sky Texas, especially in the region where the Caldrich family farmed, was so highly regarded that it became the gold standard for anyone with an eye for quality.

Over the next 200 years, the company continued to operate and release several new drinks to satisfy every customer. Today, even though it is no longer owned by the direct descendants of the Caldrich brothers, it still makes beer as high-quality as it was when it was founded.

## Introduction To The Rest Of The World

When Sky Texas opened up to the rest of the world, Joseph Caldrich & Bros. beer was one of the first products to be exported, and it became a massive success almost instantly. It was first enjoyed by those curious about the new brew, but it soon became a favorite among people of all classes. Interestingly, it seemed that tastes varied a lot between Sky Texas and the rest of the world, as the beer that sold the worst in Sky Texas - Golden Dog Ale - was the bestseller everywhere else. There were many theories as to why this was, the most popular being that it was simply the first one introduced outside of Sky Texas as a way to get rid of unsold product. Whatever the reason, and whatever one’s taste was, there was always a JCB beverage for them to enjoy..

## Drinks on offer

There are several staple and seasonal drinks the company offers, as well as specialty drinks sold to places who want exclusive drinks to bring in customers. Nowadays, JCB has branched out beyond just beers (which remains their largest export), but also to ciders, meads, and in very small quantities distilled liquors.
