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.

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."

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.

Used to drink PBR's at the O club in Vietnam for a quarter a can. I don't remember any other beer being available, they had cornered the market. We didn't care tho', as long as it was cold.

PBR was a popular beer at my uncle's poolroom back in the 60's and 70's. I've chewed on a few of 'em myself. It's been a long time since I've had one so I guess I'll have to pick up a six and see if it brings back any old memories.

"...it is simply a decent cheap beer."

Hey, that's all I need. You only taste the first one or two anyhow...

Also, take the beer quiz at www.pabst.com. Cool old-timey music.

Making love in a canoe. I've got stronger stuff coming from my tap.

Now if you want a good North American beer,

Hey, Dennis Hopper (Frank Booth in "Blue Velvet") knows a real beer:

Frank Booth: What kind of beer do you like to drink, neighbor?
Jeffrey Beaumont: Heineken.
Frank Booth: Heineken? (Expletive Deleted) that (Expletive Deleted)! Pabst Blue Ribbon!

Down at Revere Beach,

Sittin' on the Wall,

Checkin' out the b*tches,

Drinkin' PBR tall,

Got my other hand free,

So I tug on my balls,

Go Guido Go Guido Go.

I just did the Miller Brewery tour -- they said Pabst no longer brews its beer at Pabst locations. They brew it in the Miller plant in Milwaukee.

Old Ted Hawkins did one of the best versions of "There Stands the Glass" I have ever heard. What a wail.

I don't drink beer anymore.

I drink ale exclusively.

I can't palate anything brewed with rice. Sacrilege.

My two new favorites:
