Head of Famous Colorado Brewery Praises Local Favorite Series of Nationwide Endorsements Continue to Make History! Ask anyone who hails from Wisconsin or Colorado about the Walter family, and chances are they'll tell you about the five brothers whose brewing skill established the breweries located in both of these Western States. In the words of Martin Walter. "Old Export has everything that could be desired of a perfect beer." "It is extra dry and light tasting, with a perfect aroma and flavor which can only be developed with natural brewing water and brewing knowl- edge," explains this man who knows beer as few others do.

It sure beats everything how brewers of such national renown are praising the quality and flavor of Old Export. But when the votes are counted in these parts, the same thing is happening every day in the" year. Just plain folks say it makes good sense to pick Old Export, and that's just another way of echoing the slogan that is spreading all over the na- i a i Water Makes The Difference."
