The Sadas, Muguerzas and Garzas, the families who brewed the famed Carta Blanca and Bohemia, came to a large extent to control Monterrey's 600-odd industries. The brewery also set Monterrey's labor pattern, with independent (i.e., company) unions for its 4,000 employes, one of the most elaborate social centers...
