Former Pabst Brewhouse Re-Opens As Hotel & Restaurant

It was 1996 when the brew house at the Pabst Brewery Complex last manufactured its trademark Blue Ribbon beer.

On Thursday, the taps flowed once again — but as part of a much different enterprise.

The Brewhouse Inn & Suites, the latest redevelopment project in a growing trend of transforming historic city buildings into modern-day commercial establishments, played host to a grand opening Thursday celebrating the first few months of the hotel’s operation. More than 500 guests attended the event at the inn, affectionately dubbed the Pabst Hotel, and at the adjoining restaurant, Jackson’s Blue Ribbon Pub.
