F. Pabst Brewing Company was founded in 1844 under the name Best Empire Brewery. In 1879, a fire destroyed most of the brewery complex. The brewery was renamed in 1889 after Frederick Pabst, who assumed control of the company in the 1860s.
The brewery closed in 1997. The brand is still manufactured by Miller, surprisingly enough. Pabst is still brewed in Milwaukee, although not in this crumbling facility.
Redevelopment plans are moving forward, and a number of the buildings have been sold to developers for use as housing, retail, office, and restaurant space. Still other buildings are being offered for lease by the holding company.
