Where to find Pabst Labs
Our story
Pabst Labs emerged in 2020 when a group of cannabis beverage experts and former Pabst Brewing Company employees secured licensing rights to create cannabis-infused products under the iconic Pabst Blue Ribbon name. Founded in Los Angeles, the company launched with a mission to bridge the gap between traditional beer culture and the evolving cannabis market.The brand made waves with its debut PBR High Seltzer in fall 2020, a 5mg THC-infused lemon seltzer that quickly sold out initial runs. By 2021, overwhelming consumer demand led to the introduction of 10mg THC variants and expanded flavors including Strawberry Kiwi, Raspberry, and Mango. Pabst Labs partnered with Nabis, California's largest cannabis distributor, ensuring statewide availability.With 176 years of Pabst heritage behind them, the brand has successfully reinvented itself for the cannabis generation while maintaining the rebellious spirit that made PBR a cultural icon. Today, Pabst Labs consistently ranks as the 6th largest cannabis beverage brand in California, demonstrating remarkable staying power in a competitive market.
