aubiefifty 16,755 Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 Pabst Blue Ribbon could go extinct, parent company suing MillerCoors 2-3 minutes The beer Pabst Blue Ribbon (PBR) could be a thing of the past and off store shelves by 2020 if MillerCoors gets its way, according to a report from CBS News SAN FRANCISCO, CA – SEPTEMBER 22: Cans of Pabst Blue Ribbon beer sit on a shelf at a convenience store on September 22, 2014 in San Francisco, California. Pabst Brewing Co., the maker of Pabst Blue Ribbon announced that they are selling their company to Russian company Oasis Beverages for an undisclosed sales price. (Photo by Justin Sullivan/Getty Images). While the rights to the beer are owned by Pabst Brewing Company, MillerCoors has been producing, shipping and packaging the beer since 1999. But things are changing, and MillerCoors may stop helping Pabst Brewing Company when the two companies deal ends in 2020. Because of this, Pabst Brewing Company is suing MillerCoors because they say the company is trying to put the beer out of business. Pabst has claimed that in order for the beer to continue being sold, it would need a partnership with the company because of its size and ability to distribute the beer. Pabst allegedly needs between $4 million and $4.5 million barrels brewed annually. It is also reportedly suing MillerCoors for $400 million in damages and to have MillerCoors honor its contract. According to court documents, Pabst has said that MillerCoors is trying to capture the low-cost or cheap beer market that Pabst Blue Ribbon has been a staple in for decades. While this will not be settled soon, and you can still but PBR for a while, a beer that has a rich past in America may soon be gone. Pabst Blue Ribbon has been made since 1844 and is headquartered in Los Angeles. It is sold nationwide. Click here for more on the potential ending on Pabst Blue Ribbon beer.

gctiger 929 Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 No big loss! With the year 2019 staring us in the face, it’s high time that Golf upgrade to a craft beer of higher quality. If he needs any assistance in the selection process, I’ll be glad to take one for the team! 🍺 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexava 6,973 Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 Not sure if I have mentioned this earlier in other threads. A couple months ago the store I visit on the way home from work had some singles in the ice tub. In honor our one and only golf, I made the 1.18$ purchase. It was not good. Not ok. Not really even drinkable. So I threw about 14 ounces out the winder. Thanks golf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would give up drinking before I acquired that taste. But now I don’t have to wonder about it anymore. Just glad I didn’t get busted for littering. But I’m sure the cop would have understood my situation if he knew what it tastes like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Know what you mean alex. We used to keep it in the boat house dock refrig with the bait and ice. Just for people who pulled up and wanted to bum a beer while joy riding. That was back when drinking and boating was safe and legal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texan4Auburn 1,626 Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 This reminded me of Pearl Beer, which Pabst owns but is still around barely. Remember as a kid my dad drinking that and every cap had a puzzle under it. Lol also reminded me of these: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
