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

So they keep the riff, raff out. This place just keeps sounding better and better.

used to live near Shiner, Texas. On weekends, we would go to the brewery, drink beer, play checkers and watch football...Things have probably really changed there since those days..

are they ever going to return to the new orleans brewery ? the big dixie dome is a landmark when i am driving in on the interstate for saints games .. ashame to see it abandoned ... did it take on a lot of water from katrina ?

i would love to tour that brewery .. shite .. now i am jonesing for an old grandpa old milwaukee/pabst/dixie beer now .. 
Posted on 10/22/09 at 2:53 pm to TigahRag
Yeah I could really go for a lonestar right about now. I normally buy a couple cases whenever I visit back home and bring them to BR. I miss the old days when they had the texas flag on the bottle/can. I don't much care for the label now.

Yep. They used to keep the beer in the huge cypress tanks in there, and they're supposedly all ruined. They weren't taking really good care of that place, even before the storm.
I always thought they missed a golden opportunity to jump on to the whole craft brew craze and position themselves as a really good regional type beer (along the lines of Abita), and fixing up that brewery, rather than simply a quaint touristy relic. I know they sort of tried with Blackened Voodoo, but that never really got beyond the point of just being basically a gimmick.

When all you beer weenies grow up you'll learn to appreciate vodka martini's like me. I don't drop the pool stick. I have five martinis and hurl it across the room after I scratched on the eight ball and ripped the felt. Tell the bartender to bite me then tell him if he wants a piece of me I'm "Chicken" on TigerDroppings and ask around and he'll find me.
Then I throw up in the parking lot just for good measure. Screw that douche bartender.

yeah, had they done something like this years ago, abita beer prolly wouldn't exist ..

Nah.. Did that in the late seventy's when I was a beer drinker. When you wake up the next morning and say I kicked his arse and your eye is swollen shut and your knuckles are bleeding it's time to quit. We used to throw darts there. Do they still?

Vodka's kind of funny. It seems to be both popular with alchoholics who don't care what they drink and with folks who really don't like to drink.
