PBR might be branching out into the harder stuff. According to documents filed to the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (the TTB), the Pabst Brewing company has a "Pabst Blue Ribbon Whiskey" in the works. And because this is Pabst, known for its grunge appeal and dirt cheap beer, we're hoping PBR whiskey fits right in on the shelf at the diviest bar in your hometown.

So far, Pabst has been mum on the details, but the documents give us an idea of what to expect. As MiBiz first reported, the whiskey will be made in partnership with New Holland Brewing Co., a Michigan brewery that also distills whiskey, gin, vodka, and rum. (Pabst has been distributing New Holland products nationally since 2017.) The label submitted to the TTB reads: "This is Pabst Blue Ribbon Whiskey. Made from nature’s choicest products that, legend has it, Jacob Best used in 1844 to provide its smooth, complex flavor." Jacob Best founded the company that became Pabst way back in 1844.

As for the whiskey itself, the label says it is 80 proof, with a mash bill of primarily corn and malted barley. The label also says it was "aged 5 seconds ago." Lord knows what that means.

The TTB approved the submission last month, but neither Pabst nor New Holland has revealed when the whiskey will be available for us to taste. But when it is ready, that will be a shot and beer combo for the ages.
