According to Ancestry.com, the roots of five favorite American brewing companies -- Anheuser-Busch, Miller, Coors, Best and Yuengling -- can be traced back to seven German immigrants. Thirteen-year-old Adolph Coors Jr., son of the Coors Brewing founder, and Frederick Pabst of Pabst Brewery, whose occupation is recorded as "Bierbrauer," German for beer brewer, are listed in the Hamburg passenger list collection, both returning to America from trips to Germany.
