About Colonel Pabst

Known for
amber lager Worcestershire sauce

The sauce takes its name from Colonel Gustave G. Pabst, a master brewer and, in 1918, president of the U.S. Brewers' Association. The family behind the brand counts him as a great-grandfather.

The company builds its sauce on beer: it starts with Milwaukee amber lager, works in ingredients sourced from around the world, makes the sauce in small batches, then bottles and ages it.

Worcestershire goes in a Bloody Mary, a burger mix, a steak marinade or a pot of chili. A few dashes lift a cheese sauce or a Welsh rarebit, or grilled mushrooms just before they come off the heat. A little goes a long way.
