A Russian beverage company said on Thursday that it was acquiring the Pabst Brewing Company, which makes the Pabst Blue Ribbon beer popular with barflies and hipsters alike and other brands like Colt 45 and Old Milwaukee.

The buyer is Oasis Beverages, a Russian brewer and beverages distributor. Backing Oasis is TSG Consumer Partners, an American private equity firm focused on consumer goods, which will take a minority stake.

“Pabst Blue Ribbon is the quintessential American brand – it represents individualism, egalitarianism and freedom of expression – all the things that make this country great,” Eugene Kashper, the chairman of Oasis Beverages, said in a statement.

“Schaefer is the one beer to have when you’re having more than one.” A great beer until they moved and somehow screwed up yhe recipe. The company got bought by Stroh’s and then PBR. Downhill from there.

You’ve never tried fishing with Esker Alt, brewed by Slab City Brewing in Bondule, WI.

Good to know.

So much for “Red necks, white socks, and blue ribbon beer”.

You beat me to it.

I found I liked Singha beer when I was stationed in Thailand. I still get it at Thai restaurants, and at the annual reunion of the Thailand, Laos, Cambodia Brotherhood.

Otherwise, I like Lone Star, Killian's Red, and Sam Adams. I also like the Slovak beer available at Cleveland's Slovak Picnics. Don't know the brand, though. Very dark beer.

That's ok... I think someone else beat me to it, as when I reread the thread later I saw someone else mentioned the line... I just didn't look to see if they were before me or not.

Wonder if they will move the Pabst brewing operation back to Jones Island — closer to its source.

Good thing Wisconsin has New Glarus, Sprecher, Lakefront and other great breweries.
