Number of children
Sources vary on how many children Pabst had. I included quotes in the citations for the three sources used, one of which says 10 children (the Pabst Mansion); one 11 (Chicago Tribune), and one 12 (The Successful American). Since there is really no basis for asserting that one source is more reliable than another, the text must reflect their differences.

Blue Ribbon myth
This was on the page with no citation: "The beer never actually won a blue ribbon. During some festivals (i.e. World's Fair in Chicago), Pabst placed a blue ribbon around his Best beer (named after founder Phillip Best) so it would stand out among the others. People would start identifying the beer as the Pabst Blue Ribbon beer. Instead of correcting the public, Pabst just wisely renamed it."
The German Historical Institute's biography of Pabst cites Thomas Cochran, The Pabst Brewing Company. The History of an American Business (New York: New York University Press, 1948), p. 137, 177, 217, 425, stating that it was the employees who originally tied a blue silk ribbon around the bottles. The
Pabst Blue Ribbon Wikipedia page says it's not really clear when this started, but that it was definitely Captain Pabst who did this, citing a
Smithsonian article that claims that Pabst won a blue ribbon at the
Columbian Exhibition. Thoughts, anyone?
