Pabst Brewing Co.

Jacob Best’s brewing company (first The Empire Brewery, then Best and Company), founded in 1844, became Pabst Brewing Company in 1889. Frederick Pabst was Best’s son-in-law, and moved the company from Chicago to Milwaukee after the Great Chicago Fire in 1871. Pabst has been in operation since its founding, purportedly winning a blue ribbon at the 1893 World Columbian Exposition for best American brewery, giving title to one of their best-known beers, Pabst Blue Ribbon. Pabst was the first company to produce beer cans, and focused on creating consistency across breweries in multiple locations, as it expanded, investing heavily in advertising and promotion. As of 2019, it owned contracts for more than two... more.
