When it comes to beer companies, the idea of putting out clothes and accessories is normal; however, putting out sports accessories is something new, which is why the Pabst x Union Snowboard Bindings are quite a surprise.
Since winter is coming in a few short months, most boarders are probably looking for new gear to hit the slopes. While the board is usually the focal attention, why not add the Pabst x Union Snowboard Bindings to liven things up? The beer company will be releasing bindings for extreme sports enthusiasts who have a taste for alcohol. The entire accessory features a red, white and blue color scheme as a nod to the colors of Pabst Blue Ribbon, while the company logo is embedded on the back heel.
These are extremely limited and will only be available in-store at Tactics. The release date is October 15th.
