For the past 170 years, Pabst Blue Ribbon has been a staple in the diets of American college students, starving artists, and broke drunks.

    I was in Japan some years ago, and discovered to my amazement that Budweiser is considered a “premium beer” there.

    I’ll amend my vote.
Worst beer in the history of the world:
Esker Alt, brewed by Slab City Brewing Co., in Bondule, Wisconsin.
Sold in half gallon jugs.
Open the cap and take a whiff. Akkkk !

    Ever hear of Drewry’s? I had colleagues in the Ozarks area at one time who drank that swill. Once visiting them, they offered me one. Talked about retching....

 I've heard that although Foster's is marketed here as a great Australian beer, its pretty much Australia's version of PBR over there.

    The Genny Screamers would get you coming and going. 12 Horse Ale wasn’t so bad though.

    Still selling out the country to enemies abroad, eh? LOL--I don't think that's quite what the commies meant when they said that we would sell them the rope . . . .

    “I’ve heard that although Foster’s is marketed here as a great Australian beer, its pretty much Australia’s version of PBR over there.”
I’ve heard the same thing about Corona. Down in Mexico, it’s considered a substandard beer but they marketed it well up here and sales took off.
 
To: SoFloFreeper
    PBR is the beer of choice amongst “hipsters”.
Which is to say, young bohemian slacker-types.
Which is to say, Communists.
So it all kind of works itself out.
 
To: Red Badger
    thats a fact.... 
 our tasteless president has a taste for perhaps the very worst beer in the world

    Schlitz is part of the Pabst “family of brands”.
So the Russkies own that one now too.

    I bought a case of Black Label in Viet Nam for $0.50. It had been in the heat for quite a while. It felt like it had sand in it when I poured it down.

    I used to have a millionth-generation xerox cartoon depicting a very well endowed stallion simultaneously drinking from a bucket of Budweiser and filling a bucket of Miller Light.
Wish I still had it.
