The Innovations and Inventions
of Fritz Gettelman
Rare Opportunity to “Get, Get, Gettelman” Once
Again!
Thursday, September 6th
Join the Museum of Beer & Brewing at
the Miller Inn on Thursday September 6 to celebrate
the inventions and innovations of Fred 'Fritz' Gettelman
and the Gettelman Brewing Company.
From the steel brewing keg, the glass-lined fermentation
tank, the truck-mounted snowplow and ice cutter, "Fritz"
Gettelman,
armed with his butcher paper, dreamed up and created a diverse
variety of inventions.
Learn this and more, as we savor the limited release of
"Gettelman's $1000 Beer," recreated by the Miller
Technical Center from the original Gettelman recipe.
This great beer, last available in 1971, is a collaboration
of MBB Board
member's Dr. David Ryder, VP-Brewing, Miller Brewing Co.,
and Fred Gettelman, Fritz Gettelman's grandson.
View the Gettelman breweriana and brewery collectibles from
the collections of Mike Tietz and Fred Gettelman.
A special highlight of this event is the re-release of the
book "The A. Gettelman Brewing Company: One Hundred
and
Seven years of a Family Brewery in Milwaukee" by Nancy
Moore Gettelman, MBB Board Member.
Nancy's late husband Tom (Fritz's brother) was Gettelman's
last brewery president.
Last published in 1995, the new printing, with an additional
chapter highlighting Fritz & the Gettelman family
inventions, will be available for purchase and signed by
Nancy.
Join us and learn more about the Museum of Beer & Brewing,
upcoming MBB events and our plans to create a brewing museum
in Milwaukee.
