The massive Pabst Blue Ribbon bottle in New Jersey, a deteriorating symbol of Hipstericana, has been moved to a junkyard just off the New Jersey Turnpike. The 60-foot-high bottle was chopped into about six pieces after standing tall and proud for over 70 years atop the brewery off the Garden State Parkway. While the "managers at recycling company, which demolished the defunct Pabst brewery in Newark's West Ward for redevelopment, didn't want to talk about the dislocated landmark they now own," there are plenty of folks making offers on the pieces. One man, a New Jersey Institute of Technology professor and curator of the school's gallery, offered $500 for the cap and planned on somehow making it into a dining room table! However, it was estimated it would cost around $150K to move and install elsewhere—of course, that quote may have also been based on the amount they estimate they'll get from the steel and copper scrap metal. Meanwhile, isn't there some giant John Deere trucker hat statue out there we can put this thing next to?

It's the same media that NEVER mentioned Muslims' hatred of Israel as a possible motive for 9/11.

Shouldn't this be moved to Williamsburg? I doubt the $150K figure is correct. Maybe for the whole bottle but not for the neck and cap.
I'd pay that tab if the supports holding it up at its new location in Williamsburg were weakened and the bottle toppled onto some extra-douchey hipsters.
Oh, so clever with the stupid hipster jokes.
Truth is, that bottle was a landmark to a lot of people who grew up in Jersey. My grandfather worked there many years ago.
Don't be so quick to shit on the locals' history when you're not from around here.
There is no such thing as a stupid hipster joke. We see them as references only.
It appears the beer drinking stopped when your father knocked up your mother who it appears also suffered from the case a day binge that your grandfather stole from work.
Where might I ask do you see any reference to hipsters in the above two entries, Other than what NannyState referred to? Of course NannyState is not recognized within the commonwealth, but he's OK. He's certifiable.
I was commenting on the article, dumbass. Otherwise I would have replied -in- that comment thread. Do you understand how that works?
The answer is no. Explain it to me. Poo poo head.
PBR is more of a frat beer than a hipster beer. Don't insult us normal people by associating us with those who don't groom.
FYI - A scrap yard is not a landfill. They are not permitted to dispose of any waste on the site.
It did enjoy a brief shining moment in a Sopranos episode where an increasingly demented Uncle Jun wanders around his old Newark stomping grounds. It "stood tall and proud" indeed. RIP
