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.

For ten years, the brewery complex sat as an empty reminder of a once-thriving legacy. In 2006, Joseph A. Zilber, a Milwaukee commercial real estate developer and local philanthropist, purchased the property with a vision of transforming the iconic landmark into a beautifully sustainable neighborhood known simply as The Brewery.

The Brew house’s front desk is built from more than 1,550 beer bottles from Milwaukee-based breweries. In addition to renovating The Brewhouse to what it is today, the contractors were tasked with “emptying” the bottles. Each week, workers were given a case of beer and asked to return the empty bottles to create the iconic front desk.
