[ERRATUM: There is no "Old Milwaukee Brewing Company", and never has been; the Old Milwaukee brand was produced by Joseph Schlitz Brewing Company, which is headquartered in Milwaukee, but by the time of this clue's airing in 2007, Schlitz had long since been acquired by Stroh Brewery Company, based in Detroit, and subsequently by the Pabst Brewing Company, based in Woodridge, Illinois and owned by S&P Company, based in Mill Valley, California. It is unclear whether any Old Milwaukee beer was still being brewed in Milwaukee as of 2007. There is a "Milwaukee Brewing Company" in Milwaukee, but it is not particularly old, having been founded in the late 1990s.]
