Yes, that’s a coffin with a Pabst Blue Ribbon label.
And yes it’s awesome.
And Pabst Blue Ribbon is awesome. It won an award once. First place, I think.
You should act fast, I believe they are going out of business. Word on the street is that they can’t find a buyer. Though people are trying the crowdsourcing approach: http://www.buyabeercompany.com/. Become a partial owner of PBR!
Ha.. I was just going to post an article about them being for sale. Didn’t know they were going this route.
Here’s the post: http://www.realbeer.com/blog/?p=877
I wonder if you’ll own all those brands…Ballantine, Blatz, Carling Black Label, Lone Star, Lucky Lager, Falstaff, National Bohemian, Old Milwaukee, Olympia, Primo, Rainier, Schlitz, Schaefer, Schmidt, Stag, Stroh’s and Pabst.
Rainier!
I wonder what the asking price is. Really all those beers just belong in a museum somewhere :P Who knew after all these years PBR was non-profit.
$300 million, I think. Schlitz alone is worth that.
