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:
quote:
Pabst Brewing Company is an American company that dates its origins to a brewing company founded in 1844 by Jacob Best and by 1889 named after Frederick Pabst. It is currently the holding company contracting for the brewing of over two dozen brands of beer and malt liquor from defunct companies including G. Heileman Brewing Company, Lone Star Brewing Company, Narragansett Brewing Company, Pearl Brewing Company, Piels Bros., Primo Brewing & Malting Company, Rainier Brewing Company, F & M Schaefer Brewing Company, Joseph Schlitz Brewing Company, and Stroh Brewery Company

You can still tour the Old Lone Star Brewery, it has a famous room full of trophy bucks and the worlds largest longhorn stuffed. Its pretty cool
