Are you a fan of good beer and have lots of money? You say no? To both parts? Well then, you’re in luck! Pabst Brewing Company is up for sale, and you can own a part of it!
Born out of the principle of crowdsourcing, two advertising agencies have come together for a first…to buy Pabst Brewing Co., brewers of over 25 well known beer brands. The asking price is $300 Million, not a small number, but through crowdsourcing pledges of as little as $5.00, the cost of a bottle of beer, this can be achieved based on the largest crowdsourced audience assembled, ever. ~via Buy a Beer Company
That’s right, for as little as $5 you too can own this maker of fine hipster beverages. Personally, I can think of a few better things to spend my money on, but hey, maybe you know someone who just loves PBR, and this could make a great last minute gift for them. From the looks of it, they’ve already gotten pledges for over $60 million, so maybe they are on to something. I’ll wait until a better brewery goes up for sale to pledge my money though…
