Pabst is selling an unusual product: a 1844 pack of beer.

Typically, cans are sold in packs/cases where the dimensions are whole numbers. 6 pack is 2x3, 12 pack is 2x6, 24 pack is 3x8 depending on the beer, etc.

For context, PBR also had a 1776 and 99 pack, both of which can be packaged in a normal array of beer cans. 1776 is probably 12x37x4, 99 is 3x33 from the looks of it.

1844 however is only divisible by 1, 2, 4, 461, 922, and 1844.

461 is a prime number, which makes the base layer dimensions difficult to determine.

My current theory is:

A) It is packaged in a normal array with square packing of the cylinders, but with some cans on the top layer missing.

B) It has hexagonal packing.

C) They just tossed in 1844 beers in a box filled with packing peanuts and called it a day.
