Jackson Brewing Company (New Orleans)

Its French Quarter building is now a historic landmark in New Orleans and houses restaurants, apartments, entertainment venues, and since 2023 the studios of radio station WWOZ.

This resulted in a compromise in which Jacksonville Brewing Company got exclusive rights to sell in Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, and North Carolina, while Jackson Brewing got states to the west.

In 1954, it bought exclusive rights to the Jax trademark from the Jacksonville company, which ended brewing operations.

[3] After brewing operations ceased, the building was purchased and turned into space for residences, shops, and restaurants.

[6] In Tennessee Williams' 1947 play A Streetcar Named Desire, character Steve Hubbell requests Jax Beer from his cohorts for the evening’s poker game in Act 1, Scene 1.
