From bald eagles and roaring V8 engines to red, white, and blue cans and monster trucks jumping through flames — Pabst Blue Ribbon has always embodied the spirit of America. To celebrate the nation’s 250th anniversary, the iconic American lager is making it official with the Declaration of Pabst — a self-appointed, deeply unserious, and thoroughly entertaining constitution that crowns PBR as The Most American Beer.
While America turns 250, Pabst isn’t just joining the party — it’s bringing the biggest cans and the boldest attitude. This isn’t about generic fireworks or limited-edition flag cans. It’s about a beer that has spent 180 years brewed for every American.
What Is the Declaration of Pabst?
The Declaration of Pabst is a tongue-in-cheek, 10-article “constitution” that blends real history with pure Pabst personality. It celebrates a beer that flies with the shadow of an eagle, wears only red, white, and blue, and delivers the most American flavor possible: crisp hops and barley.
You can read the full declaration at MostAmerican.beer — because of course the website uses the ultra-patriotic .beer domain.
Freedom Packs: 250 Ounces of Pure American Glory
To make the celebration unforgettable, Pabst is releasing special Freedom Packs — massive 250-ounce bundles featuring ten 25-ounce cans. These limited-edition packs come wrapped in a custom design featuring soaring eagles and fireworks, making them the ultimate party accessory for:
Backyard cookouts
Neighborhood block parties
Fridges with the shelves removed (you know the ones)
Only 4,000 Freedom Packs will be available nationwide, so they won’t last long. Whether you’re toasting with friends or stocking up for the big day, these are built for serious celebration.
Hilarious Highlights from the Declaration of Pabst
Pabst’s new declaration is packed with memorable (and mostly true) claims, including:
Pabst doesn’t need a special American flag can — its iconic red, white, and blue design has always been patriotic.
Pabst allegedly gave America its first six-pack in the 1940s (according to Pabst folklore, anyway).
Cracking open a cold PBR sounds exactly like a V8 engine roaring to life.
Of all the blue ribbons awarded in America, Pabst’s is the one people remember first.
Later this month, Pabst will also release commemorative merch to mark 250 years of America drinking its favorite working-class lager.
About Pabst Blue Ribbon
Since its founding in 1844 in Milwaukee, Pabst Blue Ribbon has been one of America’s most beloved and original lagers.

Cheers to 250 years, America! Raise a can responsibly, and remember: don’t do anything Pabst wouldn’t do.

In the rough-and-tumble world of Canadian beer, few brands ever achieved the mythic status of Dow Ale in Quebec. For generations, this rich, malty ale was a workingman’s staple, especially in the historic streets of Quebec City. Its story stretches back to the 19th century when William Dow, a Scottish immigrant, established his brewery in Montreal. By the early 20th century, through mergers and acquisitions, Dow had become part of National Breweries, one of Quebec’s brewing giants.
Then came the tragedy of 1966.
