Meet the man who helped revive the Historic Pabst Brewery in Milwaukee

Описание: Jim Haertel has a passion for pints, specifically pints of Pabst.

"When I was younger, Pabst was the hip beer," Haertel, who is from Milwaukee, told TMJ4.

The last two decades of his life have been dedicated to bringing back that piece of Milwaukee history.

In the 20th century, the Pabst Brewery which is located on 9th and Juneau Avenue, was a powerhouse in the Milwaukee beer industry. After hardships, the brewery closed its doors in the mid-90's.

"And there was talk of tearing down the beautiful building and I thought what a travesty that would be and what an opportunity if I could buy and save it," Haertel said.

And so in 2001, that's what he did. Since then, he has been reviving the building, trying to restore its history.
