If you're too old to head to your local park for an Easter egg hunt – it really does look bad elbowing kids out of the way in search of colored eggs – don't worry, Milwaukee, Pabst has got you covered.
The once-and-former Milwaukee brewing giant is back home for Easter to hide an Easter "kegg" – or multiple Easter kegs – somewhere in town.
PBR is doing this in Philly, Tampa and Portland, Oregon, too.
On Saturday April 16, residents of Philadelphia, Milwaukee, Tampa, and Portland will be able to search their towns for a pastel painted keg of PBR beer.
Find a keg and its yours to keep. Plus, it'll come with a gift card to buy a fresh keg of PBR to celebrate.
Winners will be featured on PBR's social media.
How to find it? Those PBR social media channels will have clues.
If there's a tie, be prepared to do battle in a trivia contest to see who gets the pastel-painted prize.
Good luck!
