The Museum of Beer & Brewing
is proud to announce that
MILWAUKEE
BREWING COMPANY
has received their federal & state
brewing permits.
This paves the way for them to not only begin brewing,
but to develop their Tasting Room,
which will embrace MBB's exhibits
and host upcoming MBB events.
Yes, at last, we're
getting closer to a physical site.
Timeline for the
completed Tour Center is Summer 2008,
just in time to embrace the Harley Museum
opening.

to Jim McCabe,
his family and crew !!
The Museum of Beer &
Brewing recently Celebrated
the
Innovations
and Inventions of
Fritz
Gettelman
The latest Museum event, the Innovations and Inventions
of Fritz Gettelman, was a huge success! Many people were
excited to revisit a beer not brewed in Milwaukee since
1971 and we quickly reached capacity. A large reason for
this was the wonderful article featured on the front page
of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, if you haven't read

The highlight of the evening was recreation of the Gettelman's
"$1000 Beer”. The beer was brewed by Dr. David
Ryder, who Vice President of Brewing at Miller Brewing
and also a Museum Board member. It was recreated in the
Miller Technical Center with the recipe provided by Fred
Gettelman from the family archives. Thank you Miller Brewing
Company and the staff at the Miller Inn!
