A US brewing company has declared itself producer of the “most American” beer.

Pabst Brewing Company, the brewer behind the popular Pabst Blue Ribbon, has made the claim to coincide with the launch of a new limited-run pack that features 10 25-ounce (710ml) cans.

The statement comes as the USA prepares to celebrate its 250th birthday next month.

As America prepares to celebrate its 250th birthday, Pabst Blue Ribbon is making a bold claim — and backing it up with 250 ounces of beer.

The company said: “We all know America is turning 250, and Pabst Blue Ribbon is celebrating the only way it knows how: by serving up 250oz of beer and making an extremely official, deeply unserious, and completely self-appointed declaration that it is The Most American Beer.

“Not because, for 180 years, it’s been made for some Americans. But because it’s always been made for every American. It’s not about fireworks. Well, it is a little.

“The Declaration of Pabst is a no-BS, deeply historical, recently created constitution. Its ten articles, loosely based in fact, are uniquely Pabst, describing a beer which casts the shadow of an eagle, whose only colors are red, white and blue, and knows that obviously, the Most American flavor of beer is hops and barley. End of story.”

The Freedom Packs will be limited to 4,000 packs nationwide.
