Established in Milwaukee 1844. This is the original Pabst Blue Ribbon beer. Nature's choicest products... (show more)
I was introduced to the "magic" of PBR thanks to a karaoke dive on Cambridge Street in East Cambridge, MA called "The Courtside". pitchers of PBR for 5 bucks? Count me in!
Yeah, count me in for the most horrifying, swill-mouthed hangover, not to mention something I call "The Pabst Sweats", where actual Pabst Blue Ribbon slowly leaks out of all your pores the next morning (and I mean ALL your pores).

I can understand that during rough economic times, or periods of your life where you aren't really rolling in the cash, you might want to reach for the cheapest beer you can find and rock it all night long.

I do understand it's cheap. I understand it's the staple of every loyal hipsters diet and I understand that it's nearly blasphemy to live in Boston (or Allston, MA) and not love PBR. However, I just can't do it. I'd rather spend $7 on one beer that tastes good to the last drop (like Schnieder Aventinus) than guzzle down 6 of these beers. Also, if your design is to get drunk for less, often times a quality brewed beer has more concentrated alcohol content + delicious flavor. However, to all the PBR drinkers out there, I love you, but when you go to a party. One 24 pack of PBR does not a bottle of Maker's Mark equal. I've seen it too many times to count. :D
Yeah it's cheap, but not my fave cheap beer. Plus since it somehow became hipster/trendy, bars now think they can charge more for it than a less "cool" beer like Bud Lite.
