The Milwaukee Brewers got their name because of the number of breweries that were in the city. Some of those breweries at the time were Miller, Schlitz, Pabst, among others. These breweries employed thousands of workers and the Milwaukee Baseball team nickname is a homage to those companies and workers.
The nickname was originally used at the turn of the 20th Century by the city's minor league teams in the American Association and the Western League.
