The company is treating 120 fans to an afternoon tour, which usually costs $20 and includes three beer samples. Each fan will also receive a Miller Lite Brewers hat.

In the World Series, Milwaukee will take on the Tampa Bay Rays, who are making their third appearance in the title series. Neither team has won a World Series, which means there will be a first-time champion.
The Brewers faced the St. Louis Cardinals in the 1982 World Series and lost in seven games. That Milwaukee team featured several players who would eventually be inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame: Rollie Fingers, Don Sutton, Robin Yount, Paul Molitor and Ted Simmons.
To get to this year's championship matchup, Milwaukee swept the Los Angeles Dodgers in the National League Championship Series. The Brewers previously beat the San Diego Padres 3-1 in the Division Series after finishing the regular season with a 103-59 record, making them the National League's top seed.
The Rays beat the Cleveland Guardians in theAmerican League Championship Series to punch their ticket to the World Series. They powered their way through the ALCS after going down 2-1 early and persevering after Game 4 was postponed due to rain. They were the top seed in the American League and swept the New York Yankees in the Division Series.
