Although Milwaukee's Golden Age of Brewing has long since passed, its heritage can still be seen throughout the community. The Blatz brewery in downtown Milwaukee has been converted into apartments and the former Pabst family residence on West Wisconsin Avenue is now a museum. Other monuments to Milwaukee's brewing heritage include the Pabst Theater, Uihlein Hall at the Marcus Center for Performing Arts, the Miller Brewing Company Pavilion at O'Donnell Park, the Schlitz Audubon Center in northeastern Milwaukee County and the new home for the Milwaukee Brewers, Miller Park. Here you can see the Blatz mausoleum and the impressive memorials to the Schlitz and Pabst families. Several area breweries offer tours that allow you to see how beer is made and sample their brew.
Private tours are available.
