    Looks like a stunt, good for novelty I guess, but it’s Feb, no ones throwing bbqs. Would make more sense if it was May perhaps, like the guy around the corner who opened up a soft ice cream shop in November, just piss poor timing, again April or May might have worked. He better be bankrolled because he’s making zilch the first 6 months in business.

    Shit, it was 72 here yesterday. I started grilling by 3 and had the firepit going until 9. This is the best Feb. I can remember. Unless you want to sweat that drought thing, but I'm trying to focus on the positive.

    We got our first bit of snow on Thurs, half inch that only stuck to the cars, some in the grass, the roads completely clear.....they closed school for 2 days. When I was growing up in Pa 6 inches was the limit, the busses put chains on and they started a bit late.

    I guess the elephant in the room is the 96 beers. Sure I've had 96 of a particular beer, but not that many. Couple dozen candidates maybe, okay 4 dozen models :flushed: ?

    I would have to pass, I would rather spread around my $150 on numerous breweries. Also folks, don't place this pack by your bass speakers, just saying.:wink:

    I have friends from up here living down there now and also some co-workers and I laugh a lot every time it "snows" down there and the silliness that occurs.

    But you guys actually had more snow than us this year and if things continue, and it looks like they will because we are back in the 50s, this will be our second least snowiest winter ever.

    Isn’t this the pack Wade Boggs carried on all his flights?

    Enjoy

    Last Fall you could get Pabst in a 99-pack:

    I suppose you needed to be a truck owner to bring that home?

    Of course it would be awesome to see somebody bring that on a bus!:stuck_out_tongue:

    Cheers!

    I've got the 6' short bed - do they have nice little PBR logo-flags I can attach to it so no one runs into the overhang off my tailgate?

    I remember seeing a bunch of Moosehead cans together like that though I doubt there were 96 of them.

    Edit: I am referring to Jack's pic of the PBRs.

    Those PBR 99-packs look so funny. Do the fit into cars??

    My guess would be no. Ergo I posted:

    "I suppose you needed to be a truck owner to bring that home?"

    Cheers!

    P.S. Could a hipster bring that home on a fixed gear bicycle? Something like hipster jousting?:flushed:

    Austin Beerworks did it first as a stunt [​IMG]

    Then PBR ripped them off

    And then Pabst donated $9,999.99 to an Austin charity.
