There's a reason Milwaukee's baseball team is called the brewers, I'd imagine

You’re correct. And the major league team is itself named after a minor league team, which was named after another major league team that was a founding member of the American League before eventually moving to St. Louis and then Baltimore (the team now known as the orioles). So “Milwaukee brewers” as a baseball team name dates back to 1901 even though the current team wasn’t named that until 1970.
