Seems we have a difference of opinion in a certain thread about the quality of PBR. So fill in the above blank

[XemaSab]

1. dennis hopper

n/t

[ghostsofgiants]

41. Heineken? Fuck that shit! PABST! Blue Ribbon!

I love that.

[Patiod]

2. College poverty

Rolling Rock, IC Light, and PBR - same category

[ScreamingMeemie]

7. Poverty is Altes and generic beer that you could get at Meijer.

Rolling Rock is big money here.

[Zuni]

19. seriously! When did Rolling Rock become "cheap"?

I drank that if I was trying to impress a girl or something with my money and good tatse!

:hi:

[ScreamingMeemie]

21. Seriously! It's expensive here. More than the standard (which the Grumpys

like) beer. We're an MGD household. We give out 12 packs of Rolling Rock when going to house parties. I guess we're cheap f*cks then. :hi:

[Patiod]

25. It was $6 for a case of RR ponies when I was at school

Hence "case studies" at the Skeller on Fridays.

God Bless Happy Valley.

[LynneSin]

10. Even in my poorest days I could never stoop to PBR....

..I was a Schaeffer's girl because Schaeffers is the one beer to have when you're having more than one!

[JVS]

11. IC light is good for a light beer

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

3. This emoticon will fill in your blank

:puke:

[StopTheMorans]

4. good times with good people who aren't above having good times

[ScreamingMeemie]

5. Of weekends at my Grandpa and Grandma's....growing up in Milwaukee,

there was Pabst Blue Ribbon bar sign on every corner and sometimes mid block. Even though my daddy worked for Schlitz, my grandfater was a PBR man through and through.

[JVS]

6. Good times!

There are beers you drink for the taste, and then there are beers that you drink for the fun you'll have.

[matcom]

8. time i replaced my wife-beater undershirt

[JVS]

9. Old Style and Old German are better though

Old German is cheaper too!

[madinmaryland]

12. I haven't seen that around here.

Used to drink it back when i lived in ohio. cheap, but its still beer!

[VelmaD]

13. of the Pabst factory tour I went on.

Much as I don't like the beer...the tour was really cool.

Oh, and I think of Will Pitt running from giant spiders. ;)

[no name no slogan]

14. crunchy AND chewy. Crunchewy, if you will

[hunter]

15. When they tore down the Peoria Heights plant.

I was there.

[dannofoot]

31. Remember how the smell...

...of all decades of cooked hops hung over the city after the tore it down?

PBR was simply what you got drunk on for the first time, if you lived in central Illinois. A friend's dad would bring home a case or two of scratch 'n' dents every weekend...

[hunter]

38. Oh man...

:cry:

[Zuni]

16. When I think of Pabst Blue Ribbon I think of "pure brewed goodness"

:9

[Fenris]

24. The cleanest taste in beer!

[miss_kitty]

17. I think

"If I find one more piss-filled PBR can in my garden, I'm staying up to shoot that mofo with rock salt next Friday night!"

Oh and :puke: :puke: :puke:

[Mr. McD]

18. REDNECKS, WHITE SOCKS AND BLUE RIBBON BEER

There's no place that I'd rather be than right here
With my red necks, white socks and blue ribbon beer
The bar-maid is mad 'cause some guy made a pass
The juke box is play-in' there stands the glass
And the cigarette smoke kind-a hangs in the air
Rednecks, white socks and blue ribbon beer

A cowboy is cusin' the pinball machine
A drunk at the bar is get-tin' nois-y and mean
And, some guy on the phone says ill be home soon dear
Red-necks white socks and blue ribbion beer

CHORUS:
No we don't fit in with that white collar crowd
We're a little too row-dy and a little too loud
There's no place that I'd rather be than right here
With my red-necks white socks and blue ribbon beer

The sem-is are pass-ing on the high-way out-side
The four thir-ty crowd is a-bout to ar-rive
The sun's go-in' down and we'll all soon be here
Red-necks, white socks and blue rib-bon beer

REPEAT CHORUS:
TAGG:
There's no place that I'd rather be than right here
With my red-necks, white socks and blue rib-bon beer

[Gormy Cuss]

35. Nectar for slugs n/t

[Democrats_win]

20. The best beer is free. (unless its coors)

[jane_pippin]

22. "Ah, delicious cheap beer. Let me go get one now."

I've caught some of the "drink real beer" comments for drinking Pabst. It's not like I don't know better beer is out there, and it's not like I don't drink better beer when I have money. But here's the thing:

1. I'm not made of money
2. I like Pabst
3. Buying Pabst at the bar means I can probably also afford a shot.
4. Sometimes it's the only kind the bar lets us get as a carry-out
5. It beats Milwaukee's Best in a can.

[LynneSin]

23. My piss in a can would beat Milwaukee's Best in a can

seriously!

[jane_pippin]

26. So you understand my point then.

;)

[JVS]

32. Keep the faith!

[jane_pippin]

37. *smashes whiskey bottle*

Always.

[Ryano42]

27. Fake ID's, Minnesota Winters...Cheap Trick...

The Miracle on Ice :D

[mainegreen]

28. my fiancees going to barf tonight!

PBR does it every time! So tasty from the tap! Soo cold and good. Its so easy to drink. I'm a beer snob, and PBR is the best cheap beer, hands down. Lets get boozed up tonight!

:toast:

[asthmaticeog]

29. My favorite cheapie.

I don't give a shit if rednecks and hipsters like it. I don't choose beers for cultural signifiers. If it's gonna be a cheap-o night, it's gonna be PBR - it tastes better than Black Label or any other swill you can name.

[anarch]

30. I think: cheap, decent if it's cold...what's not to like?

Also, "Heineken? Fuck that shit! Pabst Blue Ribbon!"

[In_The_Wind]

33. Darlin'

You Know That I Don't Drink Cheap Beer!

[democracyindanger]

34. Who the hell gave this can 'o' pee a ribbon?

[SOteric]

36. Of a story a Vietnam Vet told me involving

a requisition mix up in the matter of 'Patrol Boats, River.'

[MountainLaurel]

39. Of my granddad

Who drank A LOT of PBR, which unfortunately is what killed him in his mid-50s.

I also think of my mom's pat answer for "What's for dinner?": Hog's ass, hominy, and Pabst Blue Ribbon.

[bif]

40. It keeps you regular, that's for sure

Actually, it has a worse effect on me than that.

[catmandu57]

42. That i spent a hell of a lot of money when i was 19

on pbr. Did you know, that if the seam on the can lined up exactly with the drink hole it's a sure signed you're gonna get laid.
