"What's Made Milwaukee Famous (Has Made a Loser Out of Me)" is a song written by Glenn Sutton. The song's title is an allusion to beer.

In 1968, Jerry Lee Lewis released his version as a single. It became a top 10 hit on "Billboard"'s Country chart and also made a minor impact on the Billboard Hot 100.

In 1971, writer Sutton's wife Lynn Anderson recorded a version for her album "How Can I Unlove You".

In the United Kingdom, a version by Rod Stewart charted at #4 in 1972 as a double A-side with "Angel."

The Del McCoury Band recorded the song on their album, "A Deeper Shade of Blue". Country artist Hank Thompson recorded another version.

More recently, a live version appeared on Irish-American punk band Flogging Molly's 1997 release "Alive Behind the Green Door".

The Texas band What Made Milwaukee Famous takes its name from this song.
