Biggest Beer Theft Ever? (Exclusive)

 

Police are investigating what appears to be a sophisticated cargo theft operation after nearly $70,000 worth of beer disappeared from a Southern California distribution center in two separate pickups about an hour apart. The twin thefts occurred Aug. 17 at the Anheuser-Busch distribution center at 4545 Brooks St. in Montclair, according to that town’s police department. The theft that included roughly 50,000 cans of beer, most of them Pabst Blue Ribbon, may have been the biggest brew heist in history.

50,000 cans! That’s more than I drink in a year! (Well, most years, anyway.) That’s some brouhaha brewhaha! Those working for the distribution center must be crying in their beer…if they have any left.

Pabst Blue Ribbon lovers often say, “PBR me ASAP!” Somewhere, some folks are going to get what they asked for, big time. Unless police can track them down…in a truly gigantic beer bust.
