Pabst Blue Ribbon



Let's be honest. It wouldn't be fair to make it seem like we only drink high cost beer. We have our broke beers as well. This is a go-to for our broke beer.

To clarify, no, we are not part of the Hipster scene. Yes, we have Hipster friends, but we do not subscribe to any sort of fad, we are individuals. PBR has been a highly decorated American adjunct lager. PBR has won Gold in the Great American Beer Festival for the American lager category in 2012, 2006 and 2005, has taken silver in 1996 and 1990, and bronze in 2004.

This pours a clear, golden color. With a good pour, there's little head (about half inch). The aroma of this is faint. Nothing stands out too heavily. The flavor is first slightly sweet, then has a decently malty taste. It finishes clean and dry with a nice body to it. It has more color and flavor than most adjunct lagers (i.e. Miller, Bud, Coors, etc).

While it could be argued that the Hipster scene is all about individualism (right, Hauser?), this blog is about beer. I recommend drinking it from a can, as it tastes the same out of a bottle, and I don't care for the metallic flavor in a bottle.

I don't really have much to add to Nathan's review... highly drinkable, my favorite beer when buying in bulk ($17.99 for a 30-pack, when not on sale). Yeah, I'll have another.
