    The Pearl is such a great place to visit, especially during the Christmas season when everything is lit up with Christmas lights! So purdy 🤩
    Great video!

    Nice video. But what you didn't cover was that Pearl had its own electric railway for moving around freight and electric railfans visiting San Antonio would flock to the brewery to do some train watching and take photos.

    1:36 the born in Germany part of Pearl beer was always the marketing speak. It's pretty much accepted now that Otto "borrowed" the name and recipe from his former employer Greisedieck brewery in St Louis.

    One minor correction: the Koehler family name is pronounced KAY-ler.My grandfather and Otto were friends for many years, and my wife's grandfather was the gardener at Otto's home in Monte Vista.

    • @Swizey
      @Swizey  Před 24 dny

      Ah dang, I had double checked the pronunciation on a couple sites, they didn’t have anything to do with Otto though. I’m gonna guess it can be said a couple ways. Thank you for that! By the way, that’s incredible that your grandfather knew him, I’m sure he had a lot of great stories!

    Ironically Pearl St Brewery in Buffalo is also a historic landmark in the city.

    I asked Hotel Emma to create some sidewalk chalk art, made some posts about it, Pearl started following me...the Juneteenth piece was even covered by the news...only for me to return to work on it the next day and realize they had pressure washed it away. I started to recreate it since there were no signs disallowing chalk art and the hotel had given me permission...well, they threatened to arrest me...over chalk...
    Multiple times the news has covered my art work only for the city, Centro, VIA, or parks wash it away...generally they wash it away during level 3 drought restrictions...

      Wow! I’m sorry you were getting treated that way there, especially if you were given permission then I don’t see why you were even bothered to begin with. I really hope everything gets sorted out in your favor. I’ll check out the news segment if I can find it online, keep me updated as to what is going on. Can you plug your social media links so I can check out your work?
