OUR HISTORY

Stellar Distillery was founded in 1901 in the historic Pearl District of San Antonio, TX. Originally founded by Carlisle K. Hayes and his wife Rogelia, we have been serving the greater San Antonio area an authentic taste of traditional liquor for 125 years and counting.

PROHIBITION

Stellar Distillery may not have been able to legally sell alcoholic beverages during Prohibition from 1920 to 1933, but there were no laws against selling the ingredients for them. To stay afloat, Stellar Brewery sold malt syrup, plain barley grains, corn grains, and rye grains.
