Karl Strauss Brewing Company
Karl Strauss is one of the world's most accomplished Master Brewers. In Minden, Germany, where his father was the president of a small brewery, Karl was born on the brewery premises and lived in the family quarters at the brewery while he was growing up (hence the claim that he has beer in his blood). As a young man, Karl left Minden to study in Bavaria where he earned his degree in the science of malting and brewing from the Technical University Munich at Weihenstephan.

In 1939, Karl immigrated to the United States where he immediately was employed by the Pabst Brewing Company of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Karl devoted forty-four years working for Pabst, advancing through the ranks of brewmasters until he ultimately became Vice President of Production and Master Brewer for all of Pabst's brewing operations, a position he held for twenty-five years until his retirement from Pabst. At Pabst peak production, Karl was responsible for brewing more than seventeen million barrels of beer per year.
