Louisiana Breweries History: Jackson Brewing Company

In 1956, Jax Brewing Company sold the Jax Beer copyright to a long-time New Orleans enterprise, Jackson Brewing Company. This business took its name from the Crescent City's Jackson Square, which in turn was named for Andrew Jacksonville, just like Jacksonville. Similarly, Jackson Brewing Company had also made a beer called Jax. The JAX brand changed hands again when the Jackson Brewing Company closed in 1974. Pearl Brewing Company in San Antonio acquired the rights to the Jax Beer formula & label. The Texas enterprise has continued to produce this well-liked southern beverage.

In New Orleans, the old brewing & bottling house for Jax Beer has been converted into a center for shops & restaurants, with a museum on the third floor. The collection covers the history of Jackson Brewing Company and offers a view of the Mississippi River.
