Pearl Brewery (San Antonio Brewing Association)

The Pearl Brewery complex traces its origins to the San Antonio Brewing Association established in 1883 and became one of Texas's largest breweries by the early 20th century. The brewery adopted mechanized refrigeration, bottling, and pasteurization technologies that modernized regional beer production. The site later closed as a brewery in 2001 and has been redeveloped, preserving industrial buildings and machinery as part of its historical fabric.
