Milwaukee-based brewery Pabst Blue Ribbon is commemorating its 180th anniversary by introducing an exclusive 180-pack. This special edition packaging is richly decorated with notable figures and symbols from the brand’s storied past, including the iconic mascot Cool Blue, the brand's namesake Captain Frederick Pabst, and a tribute to Pabst-ett, the cheese product introduced during Prohibition.
