Campbell’s Chunky, known for its hearty, flavor-packed soups, is teaming up with Pabst Blue Ribbon, the American beer brand known for its iconic look and taste. Together, the brands are serving up a new collaboration: two soups that bring together the crave-ability of Chunky and the smooth taste of Pabst Blue Ribbon.
Just in time for soup season, the two new varieties will be available exclusively at Walmart starting this month:
- Campbell’s Chunky x Pabst Blue Ribbon Beer Cheese with Potatoes & Chorizo Soup is packed with savory chorizo sausage and hearty potatoes simmered in creamy cheese infused with Pabst Blue Ribbon Beer flavor. Pair it with a soft pretzel, serve it in a bread bowl, or top it with extra shredded cheese.
- Campbell’s Chunky x Pabst Blue Ribbon Beef, Bacon & Beer Chili with Beans is the perfect addition to brisk fall days and features seasoned beef, hearty beans and smoky bacon, all infused with Pabst Blue Ribbon Beer flavor. Enjoy it straight from the can, load up a hot dog or drizzle it on top of nachos.
“This is the ultimate flavor collaboration,” said Ryan Pawling, Senior Brand Manager, Campbell’s Chunky. “Our fans love bold, unexpected taste experiences, and pairing Chunky’s hearty recipes with the iconic, malty flavor of PBR brings something totally unique to the soup aisle.”
To celebrate the launch, Chunky and Pabst Blue Ribbon are hosting a dive bar takeover at Ray’s Bar in New York City on Thursday, Aug. 21. Attendees will be among the first to try out the new soup and chili paired with an ice-cold PBR, snag exclusive collab merch and get “Chunky-fied” by an onsite caricature artist.
“We always like to do things a little differently at Pabst, so when the opportunity came to work with an iconic brand like Chunky, we knew this was a no brainer,” said Rachel Keeton, Senior Brand Director, Pabst. “It’s a bold, unexpected collaboration that celebrates flavor, fun and the spirit of both brands, and we’re excited to stir things up.”
The two brands are also embarking on a food truck sampling tour this fall at Walmart stores across the country to bring Chunky and Pabst Blue Ribbon fans the ultimate experience closer to home. The one-month-long experience begins Sept. 3 and will feature a fusion of flavor and fun for fans who want to stop by for a bite.
