“Leather and wet dog, empyreumatic, grilled, spicy, smoky, and leathery, together with fruity and floral notes,”
Damn!
Now the hipsters will be slugging it down like it actually tastes good.
Don’t believe it?
They’ve kept Pabst Blue Ribbon going.
Damned hipsters, can’t stand’em.

Not sure the hipsters actually admit to liking PBR though.

I am certain that this champagne tastes like a fart of itself.

After the tasting assessment phase, and the intense analysis, and many brilliant, inciteful discussions, the scientists decided to examine the label, and from that effort, they developed a working hypothesis concerning the reason for the "leather and wet dog" taste they detected in the liquid they consumed.

I had some 20 year old bottled Guinness before. It wasn’t all that bad, actually. Little bit of cardboard, but otherwise, it was Guinness.

Pabst is ironic beer. Hipsters drink it because it’s the cheap stuff at old-man bars and a nose-thumb at beer snobs.

My Pop enjoyed PBR and he was no hipster.
I’d rather er have a Miller.
To: SunkenCiv
Was it anything like Miller’s High Life: the Champagne of bottled beers?
To: SunkenCiv
Empyreumatic: being or having an odor of burnt organic matter as a result of decomposition at high temperatures.
I'll pass, thanks.

It's lost a little fizz over the last 20 years, but still good.
