Pabst Brewery Complex
Pabst Brewery
The red-brick complex of what was once America’s largest brewery, now home to a hotel, a bistro and the Best Place beer hall.
In the late 19th century, the Pabst Brewery was the largest brewery in the United States by output. After production stopped in 1996, its castle-like red-brick buildings were converted into hotels, apartments and restaurants. The Best Place preserves the original Blue Ribbon beer hall and the office building, offering historical tours and tastings. A statue of Captain Pabst stands inside. Located northwest of downtown and right next to the Fiserv Forum, it is an easy add-on to your visit.
