Any takers for a 60 foot beer bottle?

NEWARK, N.J. (AP) - May 7, 2009

And PBR fans hope it won't be DOA.

A 60-foot-tall Pabst Blue Ribbon bottle used to stand above the brewery's main building in Newark, N.J.

It's now in pieces in a junkyard.

Fans are hoping the landmark 60-foot-tall bottle will be resurrected.

New Jersey Devils owner Jeff Vanderbeek wants to put it back together and place it outside the Prudential Center, home ice for the Devils.

But costs could break the bottle plan.

Plans had been to sell the big bottle, which is actually made of steel and copper, for scrap.
