We’ve gotta admit, we hadn’t considered that. It’s really more of Ahmed Al Assliken’s thing. And the last thing we want to do is horn in on his territory.

We can’t help but wonder if Pabst Blue Ribbon is trying to suggest that their beer tastes like … well, you know. But it kinda sounds like that’s what they’re going for.
PBR or ass? Whats the difference?

Oh my. That took a dark turn, didn’t it?

We’re not about to tell PBR how to run their Twitter account. Let’s stick around and see if this strategy pays off for them.
Or if their social media person still has a job tomorrow.
