         The life and times of Mark and Paula Persons
Wednesday, June 20, 2012: Paula and Mark were off to tour the Captain Fredrick Pabst Mansion in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.  This prestigious home was completed in 1892 at a cost of $254,000, which is over 33 million dollars in today's money!

It is quite a place.  No expense was spared in the construction of this one.  Twelve servants were required to keep the place running.

The dynamic Duo toured the Miller Brewing Company next. 

This is their "we were here'" photo. 

The Miller Girl in the Moon is from some of their great advertising.

 
The bottling is mostly automated.  Thousands of bottles and cans of beer come off the line every minute.
For a contrast, Mark and Paula visited the Lakefront Brewery.  It is a micro brewery that has recently graduated into being a regional brewery.  This family-run operation that has many loyal followers.

 
Bottles are put in boxes two at a time.

Beer tasting was a fun activity that day.

This town seems to be full of beer breweries.

A beautiful city.
Paula was later seen cooling off with a cone of "cookies and cream" at a Kopp's Frozen Custard stand. 

How can you blamer her?  It was 95 degrees that day.
Quote of the day:  You can never tour too many breweries.   Mark    < Back to previous story Ahead to next story >
