Buy A Beer Company: Pabst Brewing Company

Pabst has fallen on hard times and had to be put up for sale. The twist? Their agency is polling its resources and crowd sourcing the bid to the buying public. If they pull this off, it will be the first of its kind.

And I’ll be $100 poorer but a case of beer happier. Pledge today!

UPDATE: Because I’m nerdy, I did a little digging and it seems the initiative is being driven by Forza Migliozzi LLC out of LA who “defy conventional methods.” I’ll say. But it seems they defy convention in every way except their very plain jane website.

    So…if this works, does this mean you own a certain fraction of the Pabst brewing company? And if so, are they going to list it on an exchange such that you can liquidate your share at some time in the future? I like PBR, but I need ANSWERS before I spend $100 on a case of it!

    If it's real, then yes. But I doubt that Pabst would go public so that you could liquidate your investment. I think it is more of a ceremonial investment for which you get a case of beer and the ability to buy from them in the future. Who knows, maybe when they go bankrupt again, we'll get $100 back from their future suitors in return for our "shares".
