PBR might not be able to compete with those fancy schmancy Euro-Micro Brews. Then again, it won’t cost you $8 a cup. To date, I can walk into any bar and get Pabst for a buck. And we’re not talking during a “weeknight, no one’s in the bar” special. That’s pretty much still the going rate. Pabst is also still one of the last surviving private brewers that hasn’t been gobbled up by bigwigs MillerCoors or Anheuser-Busch. As far as the blue ribbon thing goes, that dates all the way back to 1882. Back then (as a symbol of quality) they used to tie a blue ribbon around every PBR beer they sold. A practice that lasted until 1916.
And its awesome.
ReplyDeleteI've never had so much as a sip of it, and I like trying me some beer. It just doesn't show up here.
ReplyDeleteI feel the same way about STAG.
ReplyDeleteI've always wished I could acquire a taste for beer. Never have.
ReplyDeleteyuck yuck! ; )
ReplyDeletethanx for the history lesson on something I only drink when I want to win a burping contest. Cheap beer is the best, bru!
ReplyDeleteI'm going to seriously need to try this stuff, sounds good to me buddy.
ReplyDeleteThis is supporting the little man I can enjoy.
ReplyDeleteNever tasted it but had seen it on TV series I believe and only a dollar!
ReplyDeleteDidn't know it was a private brewery.
ReplyDeleteBack in high school I got so sick on Pabst. Keg party and puking out a car window is about all I remember of that night.
ReplyDeleteSo its a private brewery? THAT'S why hipsters love it. lol.
ReplyDeleteYou know, I don't mind this beer at all. From what I can remember, it's decent.
ReplyDeleteI know a few who drink it
ReplyDeletei have not seen beer sell for a dollar since...well, ever.
ReplyDeletebut maybe that's cuz i only hang out at strip clubs.
HUH, didn't know 'bout the blue ribbon, that they actually tied one on each can.
ReplyDeleteThe more you know~!
I wonder if I'm the only one who sang the PBR theme song when I read this?
