My freshly-emigrated Pomeranian grandparents prospered in the new world, schlepping kegs for the greatest beer company of all time: Pabst Blue Ribbon. To this day, the Pabst courtyard is presided over by a German-American icon—King Gambrinus, the Patron Saint of Beer—depicted in cast aluminum as should be all great men.
