Pabst Brewing Company, known for its flagship Pabst Blue Ribbon beloved by hipsters, said the company will return to its birthplace of Milwaukee, WI to open a new brewery nearly 20 years after production moved away from its hometown.
The company says the new facility will be constructed on the site of the original Pabst Brewery that was founded in 1844. Pabst plans to sign a multi-year lease on a building within the Pabst brewery complex and expects to open the brewery to the public in the summer of 2016.
