Yes but I don't think its brewed by the actual Pearl brewery anymore. Someone bought the name and cranks that stuff out




sorta like what happened to dixie over here ?

Not quite. I think both Pearl and Lone Star are now owned by that group that owns Pabst Blue Ribbon, who went around several years ago, buying up a lot of these old regional type brewing names.

They didn't buy Dixie, though. They're still owned by New Orleans folks, who are just contracting out there brewing right now.

ETA, here's what wikipedia says:
