Pabst Blue Ribbon Beer 16 Oz Tab Top Can

Pabst Georgia's 16 Oz Tab Top

The 16-ounce pint tab top featuring the Pabst, Georgia city designation represents a notable era of southern regional brewing for the Pabst Brewing Company. In the late 1960s, Pabst expanded its brewing footprint into the American Southeast, establishing a major production facility in Houston County near Perry, Georgia. The area surrounding the facility was designated as Pabst, GA, resulting in cans that carry this specific location in the mandatory brewery statement.

For collectors of breweriana, 16-ounce cans bearing the Pabst, GA mandatory mark hold special interest. While 12-ounce cans from this plant were widely distributed across regional networks, the 16-ounce pint format saw more targeted distribution. The can features the classic Pabst Blue Ribbon graphic presentation, showcasing the signature diagonal blue ribbon and red stripe adapted for the larger surface area of a tall-boy pint.

Several variations of this pint can exist, primarily differentiated by minor adjustments in side-panel mandatory text, seam construction, and lid stampings. Cans explicitly listing Pabst, GA serve as key historical pieces documenting the brand's mid-century southern brewing operations.
