Pabst Blue Ribbon returning to L.A.

The company that makes Pabst Blue Ribbon beer is moving its headquarters from the Chicago area to Los Angeles this summer. There won't be any beer produced here — Miller Brewing handles all that now for Pabst — but PBR was once made in Los Angeles where The Brewery art complex is now on North Main Street.

L.A. Times reports  Pabst Blue Ribbon, purchased last year for about $250 million by billionaire investor C. Dean Metropoulos, declined to comment about the reasons behind the move or how many local jobs it might create. "Pabst spokesman Mark Semer said that Metropoulos' two sons, Daren and Evan, both live in Los Angeles and run the company with their father, who lives in Greenwich, Conn."
