When it comes to beer for Independence Day, a lot of people will make a strong argument that you cannot go more American than the red, white, and blue of Pabst Blue Ribbon.  Established in Milwaukee in 1844, it's almost been a part of our country as long as it's been a country.  Anyway, in honor of our nation's birthday, PBR is toasting the greatest nation on earth with THIS:

That's right, a limited-edition 1,776-pack of ice cold beer. And yes, your eyes do not deceive, that 1,776 beers in one, ginormous box.  Where was this when I was in college?  Further, what are the odds I'm going to see this huge red, white and blue box on Myrtle Beach this weekend?  Maybe not.  Sadly, only four of the 1,776-packs will be given to four PBR fans who will have to document their consumption throughout the rest of the summer.  Now THAT content could be hilarious.
