With every margarita, shot and cocktail made with Cuervo, another story is born. And wherever people are having fun together, Cuervo is there. But this popularity did not come about overnight. Behind the premium Tequilas lies a commitment to craftsmanship, a rich Mexican heritage and a family tradition that stretches back over two hundred years.This legendary tequila began in 1795 when the King of Spain granted Don Jose Antonio de Cuervo the first commercial tequila license. In 1812, Fabrica La Rojeña, the oldest distillery in Latin America opened its doors and is still managed by his descendants today. Jose Cuervo is still the #1 tequila in the world.
The Veloster first of Hyundai's new Premium Youth Lab sub-brand, which is targeted for the young generation of drivers. It was unveiled on January 10, 2011, at the Detroit auto show, and fills the void left when Hyundai discontinued the Tiburon after the 2008 model year. The car is different from many competitors as it has one door on the driver side and two on the passenger side. The Veloster uses Hyundai's new BlueLink system, which is similar to OnStar used in GM vehicles, to provide customers with automatic crash notification, vehicle diagnostics, etc.
PBR is not just any beer- so you would expect the history to be a bit unusual, and it is. Pabst was originally called "Select," but people started asking for that "Blue Ribbon" beer in 1882 when we started tying silk ribbons to the bottles. We officially added the words "Blue Ribbon" to the bottle in 1895. Pabst was the first brewery to put beer in cans back in 1935. Today, this classic American brew has been adopted by a whole new generation of PBR drinkers. Currently, PBR is one of the fastest growing domestic beer brands. When you're this good, quality always comes through-PBR ME ASAP!
