Judges at the Colombian Exposition in 1893 declared Brother Frederick Pabst's brew as the best beer at the event, also known as the Chicago World's Fair. Brother Pabst, Aurora Lodge 30, Milwaukee, won a gold medal for his formula but not, as many think, a blue ribbon. The name of his beer, "Pabst Blue Ribbon," comes from his company's practice of tying (then later sealing) a blue ribbon on the neck of every single bottle of beer he produced from 1882 until 1916.
