Pretty cool stuff!

My Great-Grandfather (migrated from Frankfurt, Germany) was a Master Brewer at this brewery from 1880-1919. It is just amazing how the many Pabst Brewery buildings from the 19th century have been re-purposed and not torn down!

That's a really cool story about your great grandfather. Amazing that the buildings are still around. On a similar thought, I took the tour of the St Louis Bud plant last weekend.
 
That is a tour that has really changed over the years.
As a side note I used to work for a company that built bottle washers and beer pasteurizers for bottlers around the world.
Those are some magnificent old buildings.
 
The Miller Brewery in Milwaukee still has a very cool tour.
 
Hoping to make it down there for Summerfest and a Brewer's game this summer. Gonna have to add that to the list of things to see while I'm there
 
Check out Lake Shore Park while you are there and drive on Lake Shore Drive north all the way to River Hills and see all the 19th century mansions.....just amazing.
 
BTW....Lake Shore Park and other parks in Milwaukee were designed by Frederick Law Olmsted.

He;s the guy that designed Central park in NYC, and many other parks across the country. He also designed the entire layout of the Chicago World's Fair in 1892.

What a waste of a church, Hamm's is much better beer.













Just kidding, Hamm's sucks. I've only had 1 in my lifetime while downing plenty of PBR!

I love the old architecture old breweries have, a nod back to the fatherland.

So, it's going to be a microbrewery, any word on what they are brewing?
 
You're slacking Bob! Will you be checking it out on one of your trips up this way?
