Description

Milwaukee is such a lot famous for its booming brewing industry, which is immediately tied to a surge in German immigration within the 1840s. These new citizens brought along their work ethic, culture, and a love for their native beverage. Not all immigrants arrived from Europe; many, like Richard Owens, came from Britain. Owens has been credited with organising the primary commercial brewery within the area in 1840. Other men followed, many of whom were already experienced in brewing, and seized the chance to start out new businesses. Brand names were carved at the front of brewery buildings, deals were made with a handshake, partnerships were cultivated, and factory cities were raised. By 1860, nearly 200 breweries were in operation in Wisconsin, with more than 40 in Milwaukee by myself. Of the unique 40, four have stood the test of time: Blatz, Pabst, Schlitz, and Miller are still brewed in Milwaukee, right where they were born.
