They may have gone out of business or merged with another company...
I don't know if this is the one... but that same sign is still standing when you drive by an exit off I-10 near Katy / Houston Texas.
Obviously as you know, the one in San Antonio was redeveloped and called "The Pearl" ... but I'm not aware of any huge sign other than what's on the water tower.
Can you still buy that beer? I've never actually had Pearl beer.

The same sign was present not far off I-10 in Beaumont as of 2016. It was in rough condition then but I haven't been East on I-10 since that year.
Pearl was the best selling brand in Texas at one time. "Pearl's my girl!" was common verbage back in the 60s

I think that's the one I'm thinking of... I drive by Beaumont a couple of times a year.
Absolutely. You can tell by the 'smokestack' and architecture of the stately building in the background, which I think is the old San Antonio Brewers Assoc building. At one time it was Pearl's own but the signage near the top has said different things over the decades. When I first visited 'Bexar' in the late 50s/early 60s, it was one of the larger buildings in the city. https://www.ksat.com/news/2...s-of-iconic-brewery/ (I can assure ya--there's nothing to match that in Beaumont. I always found Beaumont to be a bit run down and sleazy looking)
Todd can probably add more since he lives there now.
