The popular beer company Pabst Blue Ribbon responded to a sexually vulgar tweet that suggested people “try eating ass” if they are going to skip drinking this January.
“We apologize about the language and content of our recent tweets … the tweets in question were written in poor judgment by one of our associates …” the PBR company shared in a statement with Ad Age in a piece published Monday. The comments were noted by UPROXX. (RELATED: Virginia Brewery Offers $20K A Year For Gig Hiking And Drinking Beer)
“In no way does the content of these tweets reflect the values of Pabst and our Associates,” the statement added. “We’re handling the matter internally and have removed the tweets from our social platforms.” (RELATED: David Hookstead Is The True King In The North When It Comes To College Football)

In the since-deleted tweet that went viral, a message on the beer company’s offical Twitter page read, “Not drinking this January? Try eating ass!” (RELATED: Heineken To Cut 8,000 Jobs Due To Pandemic, Taking Steps To ‘Move Beyond Beer’)
Many people saw the raunchy post and wondered if anyone would be fired. There is no word yet on whether any PBR employee has been terminated.
