Jackson Brewing Company, or Jackson Brewery, was a regional brewery operating in New Orleans, from 1890 to 1974.[1] It sold Jax beer (a brand name also used in different states brewed by Jacksonville, Florida's Jax Brewing Company, which it had no connection to before 1954). It was popularly known as the Jax Brewery. At its height, it was the largest brewery in the Southern United States.

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.[2]
