Pabst Brewing Company is an American company founded in 1844 by Jacob Best. Best known for Pabst Blue Ribbon beer, it is historically associated with Milwaukee, Wisconsin, where it was founded, although its corporate headquarters are now in Woodridge, Illinois. The Pabst brands make up 2.8% of the American beer market.

In 1999, the Pabst Brewing Company began transferring its production to Miller Brewing Company on a contractual basis. In 2001, it closed its last brewery in Allentown, Pennsylvania. The announced InBev purchase of Anheuser-Busch in July 2008 prompted Pabst to claim to be the largest American-owned brewer.

In fact, it is a "virtual brewer," a marketing company whose 85 brands are brewed by either Miller Brewing Company or Lion. Pabst is owned by a not-for-profit trust based in California, S&P Company.
