Pabst Blue Ribbon Debuts ‘Unmatched' Collab That Took Months to Perfect
If you've ever wanted a cheese that tastes like a specific type of beer, let's say Pabst Blue Ribbon, consider your prayers answered. A popular cheese brand worked with the beer company to recreate the experience of drinking the lager for a new limited-edition release that "people need to try," according to the collaborators–and no, it's not a beer cheese spread. On Wednesday, Yancey's Fancy Cheese and Pabst proudly announced the all-new Pabst Blue Ribbon Beer Flavored Cheese, which "brings a unique spin to everything, from charcuterie platters to epic grilled cheeses, heartwarming mac and cheese, or just a midnight snack straight from the fridge." Related: Fan-Favorite Beer Is Flying Off Shelves After Limited Return "Yancey's history with cheese-making crossed with the legacy of Pabst Blue Ribbon creates a nostalgic tip of the hat to the long history of cheese and beer as counterparts. They did a killer job with the flavor profile, honing the notes of PBR to sit well with the tang of the cheddar. The combo of beer and cheese is unmatched, making this collaboration something that people need to try," said Pabst Blue Ribbon brand manager Hunter Cox in a statement. Unlike traditional beer cheese, Yancey's Fancy PBR Beer Flavored Cheese isn't a melty, served warm spread. It's "a bold, flavorful cheddar" heading to the refrigerated section of grocery stores in blocks. Related: Craft Beer Company Announces Delayed Re-Release This Summer While the beer-cheese combo certainly has been around for some time, so have both brands, and their combined 280 years in business should make this innovation the "ultimate beer-infused cheese," or so the companies say. "The Yancey's brand is known for robust flavored cheese, so when the Pabst team approached us, we were thrilled to create a truly unique cheese," added Yancey CEO Eric Cosnoski. "We spent 6 months meticulously refining the taste and mimicking the nuanced botanicals to capture the complex taste experience of drinking a PBR. If you are a PBR fanatic, this will be your new favorite cheese." According to the release, Yancey's Fancy Pabst Blue Ribbon Beer Flavored Cheese is currently rolling out at retailers nationwide that carry other varieties of its products (including Albertsons, Food Lion, Hannaford, Harris Teeter, Jewel Osco, Price Chopper, Publix, Safeway, ShopRite, Sprouts, Stew Leonard's, Stop & Shop, Tops, Walmart, Wegman's, and Winn Dixie).

LSU football schedules visit with elite 2027 wide receiver recruit
LSU football schedules visit with elite 2027 wide receiver recruit Elite 2027 slot WR Trenton Yancey has a busy spring of visits on deck beginning with a visit to LSU this weekend, he tells @Rivals Yancey is the No. 14 player in the Rivals250 for next year: — Sam Spiegelman (@samspiegs) April 8, 2025 2027 wide receiver Trenton Yancey is scheduled to take a visit to LSU on Friday, according to a report from Rivals. His trip to Baton Rouge follows a trip to SMU. He also has visits on tap to Texas A&M, Tennessee, and Oregon. On3 currently lists the Aggies and Oklahoma as the front runners to land the standout pass catcher. A native of Arlington, TX, Yancey is a four-star prospect and the No. 13 wide receiver in the class. He ranks No. 18 out of recruits from Texas and inside the top-115 overall. Yancey plays at Duncanville High School, which also fielded current LSU running back Caden Durham and former wide-recover recruit Dakorien Moore. Moore, the 2025 class' top pass catcher, decommitted from the Tigers in favor of Oregon in May 2024. Head coach Brian Kelly's team continues to hit on top pass catchers in recent recruiting cycles. The Tigers boast the nation's top 2026 class, headlined by the cycle's top wide receiver Tristen Keys, and four-star Jabari Mack. Yancey will surely learn more about this lineage and the recent string of NFL-ready talent coming out of LSU at the position.

Several pieces of art at Convention Center deemed ‘infeasible for relocation'
AUSTIN (KXAN) — This year's South by Southwest will be the last before the Austin Convention Center closes and the city starts its massive expansion and reconstruction process. But some have expressed concern about the art in that building that won't be saved. 'Four pieces were identified as infeasible for relocation due to site-specific design constraints, but artists were given the opportunity to reclaim their work where possible,' a public information officer for the Economic Development Department said. A memo from the city stated staff analyzed more than 200 individual pieces of art in that process. One of the few pieces that won't be saved — by the city of Austin at least — is John Yancey's 'Riffs and Rhythms' which has been in the convention center since 1996. 'With color and vibrant presence, this work celebrates the multi-culture phenomenon of the various genres of Texas music,' Yancey told council members. 'Riffs and Rhythms' is one of the many pieces of art commissioned by the city under its Art in Public Places program. But it's artists who pay the price, literally, to save art when a piece of work is deemed 'infeasible for relocation', as is the case here. That, or the art is destroyed. According to a memo, Yancey was able to submit a removal plan to the city last month which was accepted — the art will be removed by Yancey and a contractor. But Yancey says not everyone has that option. 'In most cases artists cannot possibly afford to hire the conservators, expert crews and heavy equipment at their own expense to reclaim their work as is stated in the outdated policy,' he said. 'For artworks that cannot be saved, we are documenting them to honor their cultural significance. The AIPP deaccession process follows established City policies, ensuring transparency and artist involvement at every stage,' a public information officer for the Economic Development Department said. Austin City Council Member Zohaib 'Zo' Qadri put forward a resolution to help artists, and the city, avoid this moving forward. The resolution passed on consent last week. 'It will allow for flexibility for the use of funds for maintenance, it'll allow for relocation and conservation, storage, deaccession and reinstallation of artwork,' Qadri said. Qadri said it will also require the city to notify artists much sooner of their responsibilities in situations like this. He said the changes will not benefit the four pieces of art impacted in the Convention Center. 'Obviously it was a difficult situation where some artists were able to reclaim their work and others weren't and that's a situation that I think stung most importantly the artists, the ones that weren't able to claim it, but it was something that me and my colleagues were like, you know, 'we can't go back in time, but moving forward we need to make sure that this doesn't happen again,'' Qadri said.

Austin City Council sees some pushback on several items regarding art
The Brief Several items regarding art are causing some pushback at Austin City Hall The city if considering out-of-town artists for the airport, while a local artist's work could be destroyed at the Convention Center The vote on the artists for the airport has been postponed to March 27 AUSTIN, Texas - Two issues surrounding art are causing chatter at City Hall. The city is considering out-of-town artists for the airport, while a local artist's work could be destroyed at the Convention Center. A vote on agreements with three artists for displays at the airport has been pushed back. The total cost is $10.6 million from the airport's capital improvement budget. Three finalists, Saya Woolfalk from New York, Jim Campbell from San Francisco, and Yvette Mayorga from Chicago, were picked out of 22 eligible applications. About a quarter of applicants were local. A recent presentation to the Arts Commission lists technical skills, aesthetic appeal, and ability to deliver projects on time as evaluation criteria. The other side There has been pushback over picking non-local artists for both airport displays and at the Convention Center. "They're choosing artists that aren't even from Austin, locking out our local artists. Meanwhile, we get lip service from our council that they care so much about local art. It's really wrong. They need to bring that back into the public sphere," Bill Bunch, who supports local artists, said. What they're saying City Council did pass an item, sponsored by Council Member Zo Qadri, to review the Arts in Public Places ordinance, to allow more flexibility for the maintenance, conservation, and deaccession of art. This stems from John Yancey's "Riffs and Rhythms" mosaic, which is connected to the wall at the Convention Center. The Convention Center is set to be demolished and rebuilt next month. Yancey told FOX 7 last week he's working with preservationists and attorneys to figure out what to do. "If an artist has a work in a museum, you don't expect the museum to take it, throw it in the dumpster at the end of the workday. You expect there's care, stewardship, and that there's a responsibility there," he said. The item won't be able to be applied to Yancey's work. "I would ask you to recognize the need to be more transparent to table this item and to make it retroactive to cover Mr. Yancey's artwork," Zenobia Joseph, who supports local artists, said during public comment. "[It's] an incredible piece of mural, Riffs and Rhythms, that y'all should be doing triple backflips to save," Bunch said during public comment. What's next Qadri says he hopes something similar doesn't happen in the future. "We must strive to do better. It's crucial that we support and uplift our creative community and their contributions to our city," he said. "This item will make sure generations of artists will get stronger support and greater investments from the city, and I look forward to seeing what new iconic pieces of public art that Austin artists come up with next." The vote on the artists for the airport has been postponed to March 27. The Source Information from interviews conducted by FOX 7 Austin's Angela Shen
