This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Instead of a direct advertising budget, PBR just sponsors random shit.
Club sports, events, random shit like that.
I think that's the whole reason they'll stick around. It builds actual brand loyalty instead of random forgettable ads that just burn money.
And it's genuinely cool stuff. They seem like good folks. Probably owned by a conglomerate though. It's too bad Yuengling is owned by such a Trump cuck. It's not terrible.
It's way more confusing than I thought it would be...
But basically, yeah. Although some dude that's been in the beer industry a couple decades put it all together and seems to be preventing them from fucking it up.
Kind of rescued the brand even. They had sold and moved to LA, but under current ownership they've moved back to Minnesota. Apparently "the good old days" I was thinking of, have all been under current ownership.
Still not as good as an independent brewer
