HORNELL BREWING

What does HORNELL BREWING Own?

Hornell Brewing was founded by John Ferolito and Don Vultaggio, who had previously started a beverage distribution company in the 1970s. Not satisfied with selling other products, they chose to start marketing their own beverages in the mid 1980s. Their first beer was known as Midnight Dragon, and in 1992 they released Crazy Horse, which was later renamed Crazy Stallion after a lawsuit with descendents of the American Indian chief. That year they also launched AriZona Iced Tea, which has made the company one of the largest privately held beverage companies in the world.
