In my head, I wanted to write a story involving a brewery that burned under mysterious circumstances in 1889. But when I read the San Angelo Standard Times summaries shown in my footnotes, I realized that there was too much milk in the area. So I conjured up a supply and demand story. When life hands you lemons, make lemonade.

So interesting! The need to live in a place that had ice for dairy products never would have occurred to me! And I love happy endings. Bring on the BBQ!
