I miss Pabst. I know it's available again but...
Yeah, it may not be nation wide anymore. But its readily available in the NW & Midwest. Tastes the same as ever.
Cut my teeth on Pabst, although, I have to admit that it was more of a protest against the popularity of Bud that drove me to it.
At 33 degrees, all lager beers taste mighty fine on a hot day.
I still miss Pabst though!
They have it in the N.E. too. I thought it was available everywhere
It seems to have made a comeback. It used to be rare here in seattle in the 80's and 90's. But i find it on tap now. $6 a pitcher too.
Thanks for the ping.
