The beer biz never sleeps at American Craft Beer. And here’s just some of what’s been happening in the beer world while you were drinking your way through the weekend.
TailGate Brewery Named Top Workplace 2024
Nashville-headquartered TailGate Brewery has been named a top workplace by The Tennessean for the second year in a row. The annual award recognizes outstanding companies in Tennessee that create safe spaces for employees to thrive, as voted on by employees.
TailGate actively worked toward that initiative by providing 100% company-paid healthcare for their team members, and consistently auditing wages to ensure they’re among the best in the craft beer industry.
“Our goal is to be the best place to work, period. Not just the best brewery to work at,” said Wesley Keegan, TailGate Brewery’s sole owner and original founder. “I believe you show your appreciation by paying people great, and the fact that this award is decided by our team members means a ton. We’re thrilled to earn it, and we’ll keep at it for 2025!”
With nine locations across Tennessee and more than 200 local teammates, TailGate Brewery is a fiercely independent regional operation.

Pabst Blue Ribbon Debuts 180 Beer Pack
The iconic slacker beer brand, Pabst Blue Ribbon, is celebrating 180th year with the biggest beer pack of the year, a pack so big you’ll need a dolly to get it to your car. Designed to be enjoyed responsibly by groups, Pabst Blue Ribbon’s 180 pack is the summer’s biggest opportunity to celebrate a beer with friends, perhaps 180 beers, or maybe you invite over 180 friends.
The illustrated artwork on the 180 pack showcases Pabst’s long history from iconic mascot Cool Blue, the brand’s legendary namesake and ship pilot, Captain Frederick Pabst, the prohibition cheesemaking era and other legendary Pabst slogans and iconography.
PBR is also rolling out this special packaging on 12pks, 24pks and 30pks to celebrate this historic occasion.
