Little tidbit of information for all of you lushes and boozehounds. Pabst Blue Ribbon was the first beer in America to develop the six-pack. Yes, you heard me correctly. The first six-pack in the world was created by Pabst Blue Ribbon. Apparently they decided that six was the perfect weight to buy and take home with you. Once again, the blue ribbon has shown us all the way. 
Some of Pabst's awards are:
1873 - Gold Medal - Philadelphia Centennial Exposition
1878 - Gold Medal - Paris World Fair
1893 - Blue Ribbon - Columbia Exposition

That last award is what afforded Pabst's its illustrious Blue Ribbon namesake. Now, as we start to prepare for drink and election viewing, let us all consider the wonder that is Pabst Blue Ribbon.
