I had the chance to wander through the old Pabst Brewery in Milwaukee and took a few pics of what's left. The brewery ceased operations in 1996 after 112 years of brewing on Chestnut Street Hill.

| The Brewery was open for a holiday event |
A great opportunity to step back into another time. The pics below show a few of the rooms that were used to host special occasions on Chestnut Street...
 |
| I think this was some kind of sampling room... notice the brewing process mapped out along the ceiling |
Really fantastic old wood work and you can't miss the architectural "1800's" look.
 |
| Must have been a show place in its day... |
|
A couple more things caught my eye...
 |
| Never heard of the "King Gambrinus" maybe that's how the saying "The King of Beers" got started... I understand he used to be on top of a building and was sort of a Milwaukee tradition. |
And look who else was checking things out...
 |
| This is pre-Thanksgiving Santa. He wanted to check out the old brewery too! |
Here's a good thing to ponder and painted on the side of a building in Milwaukee !
 |
| Yup, it's a choice, positive is waaaay better than negative! |
See you later,
