I dont mean to offend anyone who drinks this horse piss, but back in the 70s only little old men and bums would drink that shit. In the 80s and 90s you did not see it anywhere, but it seems to be the drink of choice by so many nowadays.

I guess Im just old and dont get it.

:dunno:

I dont get it either. It is typically the cheap drink of choice, but honestly the cultural craze for the stuff (i.e. hipsters) has actually made it popular to drink so it has become popular. Honestly its not any cheaper than other piss type beers.

however maybe its just because im young, but even a nice chilled PBR is refreshing on a bus ride down from the ski hill at night

I'm not sure if I'm older than you or not. This is the likes of Hamms, Schlitz, and remember good ole Miester Brau now that was nasty.

My buddy turned me onto PBR and it isn't bad. I like it better than Bud. I'm a red guy or porters if I can.

This is much like Leinenkugel coming back to life and I enjoy their beers.

"Voted America's best in 1893" and like the great white shark it never had to evolve...

Way better than bud, coors, miller. It is cheap "crap", and one of the better tasting ones. Fwiw, Schlitz and Raineer are good ones in this vein too.

Road tripping, that sort of crap this crap is great.

There are certainly better beers but it does fill a niche.

i think the recent pbr phase is pretty funny, all the hipster joints in town have pbr on tap and on special certain days, when 2 years ago you never would have seen it. i think it's just a trend, i personally don't like the taste or find anything special about.
for cheap brew i prefer old mil, call me crazy

Down here there's a little liquor store than does 30 packs for 14 bucks. That's cheaper than coors at 20 for 30. So if I just need a cheap shitty beer I'm all about PBR. It's great for "session" drinking where I can't do a 6 pack of IPA without the taste burning me out. It serves it's purpose as its equivalent to coors, miller, and bud taste wise while usually being a little cheaper.

It's been a long, loooooong time, but back in High school PBR was popular cuz it was cheap! It definitely wasn't the best tasting beer! Then again, WTF did we know? We were kids looking for a cheap drunk!! Hell, when we could get it we would also drink god awful shit like Mad Dog 20/20, Boone's Farm strawberry wine, and (...uhck!) Slo-Gin & OJ!!!


Can't recall for sure, but I believe PBR had (has?) a slightly lower alcohol content too! 3.2% or something! Had to drink a LOT of it to get totally wasted!

In fact to have a "PBR Experience" was synonymous with a really, REALLY bad puking hangover! :yahoo: :eusa_clap:

Rainier is my cheap shred beer of choice.

PBR is ehh, but I'd drink it over Bud, Coors, Miller, etc. I drank it a lot in college when it was cheaper, but since it's "hip" now, the price went up.

Otherwise give me a good black IPA and I'm in a good place.

If I walk into a bar that has PBR on tap, I walk right back out...



Can't say I've got ONE beer anymore that's my fave. Most of the stuff I drink is made in Canada. For mass produced stuff, Alexander Keiths isn't bad, Ricards White, Stella.

I'm not sure if I've become a beer snob, but I think if I'm paying ANYTHING for the stuff, it should actually taste good! I'd rather drink 2 good craft beers than 10 bottles of piss.

It's the cheapest shit they sell at bars generally, especially mountain bars, therefore I buy it. Nothing to difficult to understand about that, and as always, when comparing something as dumb as beer choice to masculinity and sexuality you just let everyone in that little secret of yours. :eusa_clap:

Also, I enjoy not lining the pockets of InBev or MillerCoors.

If you're worried about not lining "corporate pockets" then craft beer is the way to go. There's thousands and thousands of little breweries all over the world that make something in most cases MUCH better than the mass produced stuff. I'm not a "buy local" guy because I believe in global economics, but when you're talking about food and food related products, buying close to home just makes sense.

There's a great little brew-pub in Calgary where you can bring back your empty jugs and get them filled right out of their tanks for $10 or so. Craft beer doesn't have to be expensive or snobby, just go right to the source...
Wait, what? Tell me more about these strange "little breweries" and mysterious "craft brews". I've never heard of them before.

Ehh, PBR is getting too popular for hipsters, they'll gravitate towards something else "uncool" soon.

Personally drank a lot of it in Telluride, was like 2.00 per bottle, and tastes better than Bud, Miller or the rest of those. Besides, by the time I down a few beers and a few shots, I don't pay much attention to what type of alcohol I'm drinking :laugh:

Don't really drink it here though, once Yuengling came to Ohio it''s been my go-to beer to drink at the resort.
