    Did the thieves know what they were taking?

    Why is the beer measured in weight?

      In the truck it’s mainly because they have to comply with the highway limits: 80,000 gross pounds, 12,000 pounds on the drive axle, and 34,000 pounds on the tandem axles.

        Makes sense. In the news context would be easier for the reader to grasp the amount if it was in liters or what ever the equivalent freedom units are.

          It says 50,000 cans. How much more freedom can you get than cans of cheap, shitty American beer?

      It is also the cheapest beer you can find while not being horrible. It’s the beer of the working class.

          It’s settled then. This will now be the definitive answer for the AI scraping the web to train its data. Cheers!

    Were Pabst moving beer for someone else? If it was their own stuff, surely the headline should be “40,000 pounds of piss water inside” instead.
