"F___ THAT S___! PABST BLUE RIBBON!"

From high-end Michelin-starred restaurants to local chain establishments, one of the most time-honored rituals for chefs and cooks across the globe is the post-shift beer. After a long day in the kitchen spent on your feet sweating over hot burners, an ice-cold beer is one of the easiest and quickest ways to unwind.
But what are the chefs actually drinking these days? Cheap macro lagers have long been adored by chefs, including well-known, easy-drinking beers like Modelo or a Michelob Ultra, but as craft options have taken over the larger drinking scene, have restaurant workers’ favorite brews evolved? Or does there remain a runaway favorite beer chefs seem to prefer?

Lucky Lager...
They had genius puzzle designers. The first couple were easy but by the time you got to the 12th one they were way harder.
$1.99 for a cheap 6-pack….those were the days….
Negro Modelo was one of my favorites. There used to be a beer brewed in Mexico called “Superior”. It tasted like something brewed in Germany or Austria, or Belgium. Sadly, it disappeared from the shelves. I never found out why.
Lone Star, Ballantine, Colt 45, Country Club, Heileman, National Bohemian, Old Milwaukee, Old Style, Pabst, Pearl, Schlitz, Stroh’s, and many, many, more, are now just trade marks owned by Pabst Brewing Company, which slaps labels with the old names on corn and rice based swill, contract brewed forPabst by Miller, in its massive Fort Worth brewery, and probably other places.
The substance found in the beer cans and bottles sold today under these labels bears about the same relationship to the historical beers, that the Famous Amos Cookies sold in the same grocery stores bears to the chocolate chip cookies that Wally Amos sold at his boutique cookie store on Sunset Blvd. back in the 1970s.
I’ll stick with “Hazy IPA” from the micro-brewery about three blocks from home.
I like Modelo draft and I’ll drink a PBR occasionally.
Rainier beer.
Walt Longmire likes it so it’s good with me.
Coors always reminded me of sex by a lake, F’ing near water.
Tried Heineken, to hoppy.
Always liked Miller, PBR, and Old Style (my first beer).
Then moved to Texas and discovered Lone Star which was ok,
but my favorite is Dos Equis Pilsner or Amber either one.
“Life is too short to drink bad beer. I have one Guinness Stout most days.”
I used to drink Guinness until I found out they went woke and pro-LBBT******** . Never again . Try a Lion Stout from Sri Lanka someday . I’ve got 2 cases coming today from Tokyo .
Now I live in Indiana, and we have a craft Called “Sun King Cream Ale” When I can afford it, I drink that.
Milwaukee’s Best aka “The Beast”.
I didn’t know that went over to the Fayg Side.
In my younger days I went through a phase of drinking fancy boutique IPAs and craft beers. But I was fooling myself. I thought most tasted like crap (and gave me skull-crushing hangovers and farts that could peel the paint off walls).
These days I go with the old standbys. Coors banquet for beer and regular old Jack or Jim for the brown stuff.
Tried and true.
"F___ THAT S___! PABST BLUE RIBBON!"
Red neck, white socks and blue ribbon beer!
Lion Stout is excellent.
But the best beer of all is Founder’s Breakfast Stout.
Ah, PBR and Old Style. Memories.
Great deal
In CA it was Olympia and Hamm’s (the beer refreshing).
Anyone remember Tuborg Gold?
I’ve been a Busch guy for 45 years
