Old Milwaukee Old Milwaukee is a brand of American dry lager owned by the Pabst Brewing Company and consists of four different brews—Old Milwaukee Lager, Old Milwaukee Light, Old Milwaukee Non-Alcoholic, and Old Milwaukee Ice. Old Milwaukee is brewed throughout the USA and various packages are currently distributed in all 50 US states , many Canadian provinces , and in select international markets .History Old Milwaukee Beer was first brewed in the 1930s as a value priced beer by the Joseph Schlitz Brewing Company . In 1982, the Schlitz Brewing Company and the Old Milwaukee brand were acquired by Stroh Brewery Company of Detroit . In 2000, Stroh's and all of its beer brands and recipes were acquired by Pabst Brewing Company , where the brand currently resides. Canada is one exception: in 1999 , Sleeman Breweries of Guelph, Ontario acquired Stroh Canada, becoming the Canadian manufacturer and distributor of Old Milwaukee. The purchase doubled Sleeman's volumes, although the Old Milwaukee brand competes on lower margins than premium beers. In 1987 Old Milwaukee introduced a beer/party ball to the market . It contains five gallons of beer. The "Beer Ball" was first introduced by F. X. Matt of Utica, New York , and that brewer coined the name "Beer Ball". Matt's first Beer Ball hit the market in 1977 and by 1982 it was being used by 10 other US and Canadian breweries.Accolades All four Old Milwaukee brews have won top honors at the Great American Beer Festival and the World Beer Cup .
