The best thing about PBR ... a cheap drunk. Of course, if it gets trendy, it'll be like Rolling Rock ... a cheap beer at trendy prices.

It closed a couple years back. It broke my heart. Ranier (seattle), Oly (Olympia), Lucky (vancouver), Henry's/Blitz (portland), and Heidelberg (tacoma) breweries have all closed over the last 25 years. :(

Rolling Rock tastes worse than Pabst.

First beer I ever bought (legally) was a six-pack of PBR.

Lady behind the bar carded me, took a look at my license, smiled and said, "Happy Birthday."

I remember when we started carrying PBR again at the bar I worked at. Some old timers were happy, the youngsters thought it was a new beer, lol.

It was cheap, too. Dunno lately.

It's annoying that PBR has become trendy - it jumped the price for a case a couple of bucks.

There's no place that I'd rather be than right here.
With my rednecks, white socks, and Blue Ribbon beer.

Very soon someone will be along to tell us how awful a beer it truly is.

A "Pabst smear" if you will.

Little did you know what a downward spiral it sparked. LOL

Funny, but the best selling beer at the little microbrew tavern in my hood is PABST.

It is what it is. Lawnmowing beer, indistinguishable from those costing 5 bucks more a case.

My dad loved Olympia beer so much he wrote some kind of "jingle" for the beer, sent it in, and I remember they sent him some Oly stuff back with a letter. It was pretty cool.
