I guess it's now obligatory to mention the 'Pearl Beer Story' told by former OU coach Barry Switzer that supposedly happened on one of his recruiting trips:giddings_ag_06 said:
Just stopped in La Grange for beer and lunch and found a new (old) beer to try out. Apparently a favorite by my great grandparents (I think).

Pearls amid trash
In an alley off a mean street in a metropolitan area not often visited by a celebrity and his driver, Barry Switzer rummaged in the trash can behind the house of a prized football recruit.
It could have been in Houston or in Dallas or anyplace in Texas where the streamlined kids with the fast-twitch muscles need sports to escape deprivation as much as coaches need them to escape unemployment.
In the trash can, he found a mound of Pearl bottles, a Texas beer.
An hour later, the recruit's father asked, "Coach, would you like a beer?" "Only if it's Pearl," Switzer said.
"I got that SOB too," he said, meaning the player. But it also works for the beer.
