Pabst Offers Hefty Reward on Missing Beer: 'We Want It Back'
Key Points:
- Pabst Brewing Co. is offering up to $20,000 as a reward for information leading to the recovery of 1,602 cases of stolen Pabst Blue Ribbon and Old Milwaukee beer taken in Southern California on August 17.
- The beer, valued at approximately $70,000, was stolen in two separate heists from an Anheuser-Busch distribution center near Los Angeles, involving fake documents and undelivered shipments.
- The CEO, Greig DeBow, emphasized the company’s desire to have the beer returned by September 9 and encouraged anyone with information to contact a dedicated hotline.
- This theft is part of a recent trend of high-profile food-related crimes, including large-scale seafood thefts in New England late last year.
