The new Pearl, which is being brewed at the Oasis Brewing Co. That site, with its glorious 1894 brewhouse designed by Chicago architect August Maritzen, has been resurrected as a wildly successful residential and retail development with no business ties to the lager once brewed there. Today’s Pearl, long a part of Pabst’s large stable of brands, has been brewed at a Miller facility in Fort Worth since the original brewery on Broadway closed in 2001.

A double XX was pretty good, and a triple XXX meant the beer was fit for, well, a king. If the courier marked a tavern’s door with a single X, the court was advised to give it a pass.
