Pabst Blue Ribbon Turns Russian Red

Pabst Blue Ribbon, once the beer of choice for the hard working American man, was bought out by a Russian company. Billionaire C. Dean Metropoulos was the previous owner of the now iconic Hipster beer along with his two sons. PBR was sold to Moscow-based Oasis Beverages. Chairman of Oasis, Eugene Kashper, shared his sentiments. "The opportunity to work with the company's treasure trove of iconic brands, some of which I started my career selling, is a dream come true."

Perhaps in a twist of fate, beer will be the bridge peacefully connecting America and Russia. For the full article on PBR defecting to Russia visit the Huffington Post online.
