TBHF Alumni Association presents
In Conversation with Carlos Alvarez:
The Power of Perspective
OPEN EXCLUSIVELY TO TBHF ALUMNI MEMBERS
Registration is Required / Free –PLEASE LOGIN TO REGISTER
The Texas Business Hall of Fame Alumni Association invites you to join to us for an intimate conversation with TBHF Legend, Carlos Alvarez.
Carlos will be discussing how, as the CEO of The Gambrinus Company and owner of Shiner Beers, he learned to recognize opportunity and see situations from a different perspective. Carlos, who learned the beer trade from his father during his childhood in Mexico, moved with his family to San Antonio to establish The Gambrinus Company in 1986 as the importer for the Grupo Modelo brands. Shortly thereafter, he acquired Shiner’s Spoetzl Brewery. Under Carlos’ leadership, the iconic Shiner Bock has become the leading bock beer in the United States and Spoetzl is one of the leading craft brewers in the nation.
This event is offered exclusively to our TBHF Alumni and there will be a question-and-answer portion, so come prepared to ask Carlos questions about recognizing opportunity, challenging your perspective, and building a brand that is inclusive and rich in perspective.
