(Downtown, Milwaukee, WI)
Scooter’s 1318th bar, first visited in 2019.
We began the next day with what we had intended to be a full-blown visit and tour to all of the Pabst facilities. This is what we picked to start off with. This is the original headquarters of Best Brewing, which later became Pabst.
There are at least four bars in the building. The public bar is accessible at street level from the courtyard. There’s another bar through the gift shop for tour guests. There’s an event venue bar upstairs for weddings and the like. And a speakeasy-style bar in the basement, I’m not sure when it gets used.
The tour was interesting and informative (it was more of a video presentation, the actual tour was just a few rooms). But it was longer than we thought it would be, and in the end we decided we didn’t want to do tours all day after all so this ended up being the only Pabst facility we visited. (We did step briefly into the Pabst Milwaukee Brewery & Taproom, located in a former church 2 blocks up the street, but it was so insanely crowded we decided not to stay.)
I had a Unite the Clans (Scottish ale) by Third Space Brewing and, of course, a Pabst Blue Ribbon which I took along the tour and drank at Frederic Pabst’s desk.
