A. Gettelman Brewing Company

United States

The A. Gettelman Brewing Company was an American brewery in Milwaukee, Wisconsin from 1856 until 1961, when the Miller Brewing Company bought it. It was the smallest of the "Big Five" breweries from Milwaukee's brewing legacy (Schlitz, Pabst, Miller, and Blatz being the others). Miller still makes one Gettleman brand, Milwaukee's Best. In 2017, the old Gettleman Brewery was given historic designation status by Milwaukee's Historic Preservation Commission. In 2018, through a compromise with the commission, MillerCoors demolished the original brewery, which dated back to the 1850s, but preserved a house from 1856 that was used as an office and lab-testing. The company uses an image of the former facility on the label of its Icehouse beer.
