Pabst Blue Ribbon is up for sale and you can own a piece of it! Here's the deal, the company was owned by Paul Kalmanovitz, who bought it in 1985. But in 1987 when he passed away he left the company to a charitable trust and charities are not supposed to own companies that are for-profit. Now, the IRS has given the foundation until 2010 to sell the company. What started out as a joke has now become a real effort to buy the company combining investments from anyone who is interested. Michael Migliozzi's advertising agency has teamed up with another agency called the Ad Store to create a web site where people can pledge money, and if it reaches $300 million then they will purchase the company. The minimum pledge is just $5, and if enough money is raised then contributors will get enough beer to match their pledges as well as a certificate of ownership. So what do you say, shall we all pitch in and buy PBR? Wouldn't it be great to be sitting at a bar, sipping on a cold, tasty PBR and say that you are part owner of the company? I think it would be cool. So visit www.buyabeercompany.com to make your pledge. You do not need to give any money online and the only information required at this time is email and name.
