 There they sit, on a shelf in the supermarket... Twelve of them for $5.99.. People walk by, pointing and laughing... But little do they know that those bottles branded with the velvety blue scarlet letter badge are really twelve ounces of pure heaven. Thats right, I said it... Pure freaking heaven... Pabst Blue Ribbon aka. PBR [The beer, not the Professional Bull Riders (PBR)... Although, PBR has been known as a leading cause of making people want to ride ugly chicks bulls... But that's another tshirt..]
Back Story :: I was personally introduced to the PBR in 1998 in Heavenly, Lake Tahoe.. A large group of us were away on a ski trip, and when funds ran short at the liquor store the "responsible adult" we had sent decided to skimp on the beer, and not the hard stuff. So, after much ridicule, the PBR was annexed out of the refrigerator in favor of the 200 pudding snack-packs the stoner's managed to buy while on the food run. [Never send stoner's to the store, unless you like massive amounts of a odd items...] So, not want to see beer go to waste, I decided to go outside and dig a hole in a snow bank and tuck in those little cans in for a quick chilling nap. Little did I know, that less than two hours later, I'd be enjoying way may be one of the greatest domestic beers of all time.
From that point on I loved PBR. It treats you right. It has good flavor, good body, good color, good price, and you never have to worry about your buddies coming over and drinking it all. In fact, you don't even have to worry about them drinking it at all. [Unless they are from Wisconsin. People from Wisconsin love the PBR.. But, There is no good reason to invite people from Wisconsin into your house anyways, so this shouldn't be a problem...] I have traveled the world around, and drank some of the greatest (and worst) beers that the world has to offer. And the fact of the matter is, PBR is not the best beer period [Tucher is...] But, It is clearly the best beer that is readily available in the US for < 10$ a twelve pack... If you don't believe me, chances are you just have never given it a chance... Try it once, and I'm sure you'll become a believer..
In the meantime... For all of us PBR whores of the world... Make sure you scoot on over to Waffo.com and grab yourself this great Pabst Blue Ribbon t-shirt.. This gem says it all.. And although it is hard for a lot of people to strut the f'bomb out in public.. I'll risk a kick in the kneecaps from a nun to show all those import drinking pretentious pricks who's boss! FTW!
Cost: $19.99 [USD / 1.5 Cases]
