Pabst Blue Ribbon CEO offers up to $20,000 reward for stolen beer
Pabst Brewing Company announced a $20,000 reward for information leading to the recovery of 1,602 cases of beer stolen from a California warehouse, with a deadline of Sept. 9.
Pabst Brewing Company’s chief executive Greig DeBow posted a video on TikTok announcing a reward of up to $20,000 for tips that help locate a truckload of Pabst Blue Ribbon beer stolen from a Montclair, California warehouse on Aug. 17. The theft involved 1,602 cases, roughly 40,000 pounds of product, and the company has set Sept. 9 as the deadline for the information to be turned in.
"We want it back," DeBow said, adding that the company will pay the reward for any new leads that result in the recovery of the missing beer.
The incident is being investigated by Montclair police, who have linked it to two other cargo thefts reported the same day involving Anheuser-Busch shipments. Police noted discrepancies in trucking company details and suspect that the thefts may be part of a coordinated operation.
Pabst previously offered an undisclosed reward and gave thieves a limited window to return the cargo “no questions asked.” The company reiterated that the theft is real and not a publicity stunt, urging anyone with information to contact the firm at the provided email address or call the local police department.
