Beer Drinking on Saturday Morning

We went to see Katy this weekend in Milwaukee.  

We went to The History of Beer at some of the buildings left from the original Pabst Brewery

Many of the buildings and land have been sold off over the years.

These are some of the original building that were offices in the 1880's-1890's.

It was really entertaining tour talking about the early history of Pabst.   

Originally started by Jacob Best in 1844, the "B" on the label is hommage to him.

His daughter married Fredrick Pabst and the stockholders had the name changed to Pabst

Until the 1980's the employees drank during work.  

Our tour started in here that once had been a school until Pabst pretty much took over all the land around the school.  

It was remodeled to look like an old Pub room in the 1940's

The fresco's around the walls were pretty amazing and explained the beer making process.  

Here is my group, drinking beer at 11 am at the bar.  

We were all drinking beer and it was pretty darn good!

King Gambrins when we first got to the tour.

There were several German sayings around the room regarding beer and drinking.  

Some beer memorabilia from Schlitz, a competitor.  

Love this, even better than poker playing dogs.  

The tour was a lot of fun.  

We had a wonderful time in Milwaukee with Katy and her beau.  

The city has changed a lot since we moved away.  

My stitching pictures haven't moved to Google pictures so I didn't post any.  

Been working on Autumn at Hawk Run.  

Hope you had a great weekend.  

Rainy, rainy, rainy today but, the weather held up this weekend.  

Keep on Stitching!
