Frederick Pabst, German-American brewer, founded the Pabst Brewing Company (died 1904)

Johann Gottlieb Friedrich "Frederick" Pabst was a German-American ship's captain and brewer and the namesake of the Pabst Brewing Company. Pabst was born in Prussia and emigrated to the United States with his parents when he was 12. He became a ship's captain and married Maria Best, daughter of a small brewery owner, Jacob Best. After a shipping accident, Pabst bought into his father-in-law's brewery company, learned the business, increased output, and helped the brewery to go public, after which he became president of the company in 1873. The company's name was later changed to the Pabst Brewing Company. Pabst also developed a popular resort north of Milwaukee, built a 14-story Pabst Building in downtown Milwaukee, helped organize the Wisconsin National Bank, and built Milwaukee's Pabst Theater.

Pabst Brewing Company is an American brewing company based in San Antonio, Texas. It was founded in 1844 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, by Jacob Best and later named after Frederick Pabst, who expanded the company significantly during the late 19th century. The company became one of the largest brewers in the United States by the turn of the 20th century. It oversees a diverse portfolio of legacy American beer brands, including its flagship Pabst Blue Ribbon, Schlitz, Old Milwaukee, and Lone Star.
