Pearl Brewery Stable - Historic Landmark in San Antonio, TEXAS

in #texas3 years ago

Historic Times

In the late 19th and early 20th century, before cars and trucks became the fastest way to transport goods (like beer), the Pearl Brewery Stable would have been filled with draft horses. That's right, the literal workhorses of the Pearl Brewery lived on-site along the San Antonio River.

Modern Times

More recently the *Pearl Brewing Stable was transformed into an event center. One with a unique heritage, which can still be seen today, with remnants of the old horse stalls left as an homage to a time long ago. *The Pearl Stable closed to private events in late 2020 after 14 years of delighting visitors and locals alike.

Worth A Visit

As a local, I enjoy being a tourist just as much as visitors to the Alamo City. So, If you're ever in San Antonio, be sure to stop by the Pearl Brewery. While a tour of the Stable may not be available (at this time), you can enjoy the rich 127-year history of the historic Pearl Brewery. Now home to the high-end boutique Hotel Emma and other unique restaurants and shops. Much of the original brewery machinery and mechanics can still be seen on-site as a nod to the complex's original purpose and historic roots.

Great little post - I used to live on Broadway right there at the Rivera complex and would walk to the Pearl nearly every day for a stroll. I live in New Braunfels now and only occasionally end up at the Pearl but still love hanging out there on the lawn. What a great spot.

New Braunfels is quite the historic town. Wurstfest is one of my favorite annual events. Alex Meixner puts on such a great show. And of course, in the summertime floating down the cold Comal River is a treat.

Absolutely, I missed it this last year. Alex Meixner is an amazing show, glad you've seen him! And it's awesome Faust Brewing makes an Alex Meixner Pilsner, you can find it on tap around NB. I go to the Guadalupe and Comal rivers as much as possible. Love living here!
