When I picked the topic, Miller Brewing Company, I did not know a single thing about it other than it was a beer company in Wisconsin. Throughout my research I have learned that the Miller Brewing Company is the nations second largest brewery, it has made it through the Prohibition, Great Depression, and two world wars, and the Miller Brewing Company advertisements are a huge part of the company. My initial question when starting to research this topic was: How and why did the Miller Brewing Company start in Wisconsin, were there any major difficulties along the way, and how did it become so well known? I can partially answer this question. With the research I have I can say that yes the Miller Brewing Company had some major difficulties which were, the Prohibition, Great Depression, and two world wars. I cannot however say how difficult these events hit the company with the research I have right now. I just know that the Miller Brewing Company made it through all of these events and is still going strong today. I can also add that the founder of the Miller Brewing Company, Frederick Miller, immigrated from Germany to Milwaukee, Wisconsin and started the company here after purchasing the brewery in 1855. I could not however find in my research why he immigrated to Wisconsin out of all places. The Miller Brewing Company I learned is well known due to all of the advertisements. The Miller Brewing Company had to take into account peoples values while distributing the advertisements in order to have a successful business. I still need to find more research on how the Miller Brewing Company made it through those tough events and I plan to look in the archives to see if I can find anything on the company from those times periods. I am also going to look in the archives to see if I can find any information on why Frederick Miller immigrated to Wisconsin. After researching a little more hopefully I will have even more answers to my initial question.
