Pabst Blue Ribbon is celebrating its 180th anniversary this year, and they are celebrating by cramming 180 beers into one package.

Not one, but six 30-racks in one giant package for your convenience. It won’t be easy to carry, it’ll be the same weight as an average adult female.

This is not the biggest case of beer that PBR has offered. Back in 2021, they sold a 1,776-pack. In 2022, they sold 1,844-packs in honour of the year they were founded.

The current 180-pack is on sale for $94.99 at U.S. retailers.
