点评:PBR is classic Milwaukee to me. I didn’t know the brewery didn’t actually exist anymore but as a history fan still wanted to take the tour. The tour is great for beer or history fans. It’s more of a presentation than a tour in a classic sense. You are given a PBR and then treated to a very interesting PowerPoint about the history of the company and the family. It’s very fascinating. Scott was our guide. He has such a passion and personal love for the brand and it showed in his presentation. After the presentation they walk you around to some of the historic rooms. They’re in a bit of disarray but they’re supposedly working to fix it up into a museum of sorts which would be nice to see. It would’ve been nice to have been taken to see the outside of the building. Overall the history portion in itself is worth it. The campus also has a little cafe and a small gift shop. Of note there is only street parking. We went on Sunday on a pretty cold day and didn’t have much trouble but I imagine on another nicer day it might be harder to find a decent spot. Overall it’s a great tour. If you’re looking for an actual brewery tour you’ll be disappointed but this is definitely a great history tour.
翻译:对我来说,PBR啤酒就是密尔沃基的经典象征。我之前并不知道这家啤酒厂已经不复存在了,但作为一个历史爱好者,我还是想去参观一下。这次参观对啤酒爱好者和历史爱好者来说都很棒。与其说是传统意义上的参观,不如说更像是一场讲座。你会拿到一瓶PBR啤酒,然后观看一段关于公司和家族历史的精彩PPT。内容非常引人入胜。我们的导游是斯科特。他对这个品牌充满热情和热爱,这一点在他的讲解中体现得淋漓尽致。讲座结束后,他们会带你参观一些历史房间。这些房间现在有点杂乱,但据说他们正在努力将其改造成一个类似博物馆的地方,如果能参观一下就更好了。如果能带你看看建筑外观就更好了。总的来说,光是了解历史这部分就值回票价了。园区里还有一家小咖啡馆和一家小礼品店。需要注意的是,这里只能路边停车。我们周日去的,那天挺冷的,但没遇到什么麻烦。不过我想如果是天气好的时候,可能就比较难找到合适的位置了。总的来说,这是一次很棒的旅行。如果你想体验真正的酿酒厂之旅,可能会有点失望,但这绝对是一次很棒的历史之旅。
