The beginning of the legendary Pabst Brewery can be traced back to 1844, when Jacob Best, Sr., and his
four sons, Phillip, Jacob, Jr., Charles and Lorenz, established the Best & Company brewery in the
growing frontier town of Milwaukee. The Bests built their brewery a short distance from the Milwaukee
River at its current location, they purchased two lots on Chestnut Ave which is now West Juneau Avenue.
To improve the quality of the company’s early brews, Phillip Best drafted plans for the first copper brew
kettle and partnered with coppersmith AJ Longworth to build it. In exchange for his help, Langworthy was
paid on a “lifetime installment plan,” entitling him to free beer from the Bests for the rest of his life.
Eventually Phillip Best became the sole proprietor of his family company, and upon retirement in 1865
offered the brewery to son-in-law Frederick Pabst for the sum of $21,000. Pabst had a grand vision to
expand production and distribution while turning the brewery and its beer into an American cultural icon.
By 1877, the brewery grew to become the nation’s third largest.
A two-story stained glass window depicting King Gambrinus, the “patron saint” of beer and brewing was
commissioned by Frederick Pabst to inspire the brewery’s employees and welcome the public to their
new home away from home. Today, soaring and joyful fusions of mixed metals, well-kept copper tops and
a King offering a perpetual toast to good health greet all of the Brew house Inn & Suites guests and
visitors. Then, they made mash, then boiled, bottled and sold the brew that created the “Made in
Milwaukee Blue Ribbon” experience.
