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.

Make a pledge from the choices below. Once the asking price is reached, you will be notified. Upon collection, you will receive your very own and a first, a crowdsourced certificate of ownership suitable for framing as well as enough beer to match your pledge

There is a great article over at The Modern Drunkard on Andre the Giant and his alcohol consumption. It really is a fascinating read.

Here’s an excerpt:

A very green rookie wrestler named Hulk Hogan toured Japan several times with Andre and witnessed the Giant’s alcohol consumption first hand. According to Hogan, Andre drank, at a minimum, a case of tall boys during each bus ride. When he finished a can Andre would belch, crush the can in his dinner-platter-sized hand, and bounce the empty off the back of Hogan’s head. Hogan learned to count each thunk, so he could anticipate when Andre was running low. Whenever the bus stopped, it was Hogan’s job to scamper off to the nearest store, buy as many cases of beer as he could carry, and make it back before the bus departed, a sight that never failed to make Andre roar his bassoon-like laugh.

Moog / Schaefer Beer TV spot. “It’s the one beer to have when you’re having more than one.”

Here’s a great article on home brewing and it’s effect on the beer market of today.

Drinkers began to envision a new role for home-brew: Instead of functioning as a cheap do-it-yourself alternative to well-made commercial beers, why couldn’t it function as a well-made do-it-yourself alternative to cheap commercial beers?

Indeed.
