Brew City: Nickolas Has His First Beer



Actually, he visited his first Beer Baron's home - the Fredrick Pabst Mansion (http://www.pabstmansion.com/) in Milwaukee, maker of Pabst Blue Ribbon (named for the award it won during the Chicago 1893 World's Fair). Nickolas was very well-behaved in his daddy's arms throughout the tour during our recent trip to Milwaukee. Also at the Pabst Mansion was an exhibit displaying old photographs of other similar mansions that once stood on Wisconsin Avenue known during that time as Grand Avenue. So sad is that about 80 percent of them fell to the wrecking ball known as Marquette University (sorry, David and Liz - I had to note that fact regarding your beloved alma mater).
