Others say Swill Water Trash fluid. What is your position on PBR - aka Pabst Blue Ribbon Beer? Do you like it? Have you ever drank it? Is is available in your country?

Me, I grew up drinking the stuff on many a weekend when I was a teenager. Occasionally, a few other brews were on the agenda but PBR was always a "go to" when budgets were tight and smooth drinking tall cold ones were part of the plan.

      I did even know how to begin to spell that. I just knew he would bring it home and sit in the fridge right in front and get mad if my mom moved it in the back so he had to dig.

    I love me some Pabst! I got into it when I was five, I didn't get very far, but far enough to know I liked it.

    Sorry bud but PBR = yellow pee water. Luckily for me I can always have a Black Butte Porter here in Oregon www.deschutesbrewery.com/brews/year-round-brews/black-butte-porter/default....

      Dude, you said it. And coincidentally that is the beer I reviewed last night. Unfortunately, though, I live in Florida and will never see it again unless my friends bring me another bottle back from a business trip.

    So I'm 5 and my dad sends me to get him and a few of his friends a beer, I ran in the house and came back with the beer, I was rewarded a sip, just a sip, for my effort. I liked it, I liked it a lot, I asked for more and was told no. I remember thinking since I was given a sip it was ok, I just needed my own. So I went inside got one and went to my room. They still had pull tabs then so I used my teeth to open it, drank it, passed out with the evidence. I thought my mom was going to kill my father, which meant I was in big trouble. After that I resorted to picking up cans and taking drinks while my people weren't looking. That lasted until I got one with a cigarette butt in it, THAT put an end to my beer drinking for a few years.

      heheHAHAHA, that is just too funny
    2. tcinvestor
      Ha Ha Ha. That is a good story. Now we know how it all started for the Freak. Some of my buddies still love tipping back a PBR. When I was in Florida & they used to come down to visit they always wanted to go to this one bar called Elwoods. It was the only place in town that served PBR. I have to say I don't drink it anymore except on the occasion we get together for a bit of nostalgia and brews.

    1. FreakSmack

    2. amybyrd21

    3. DailyBeerReview
      PBR isn't even desperate drunk beer, it's that bad.
    4. tcinvestor
      Did you try a Green's yet? or the Dogfishhead - Midas Touch or Dogfishhead 120IPA?

      @DailyBeerReview - that is funny but I know thousands who would disagree.

    I was also taking the boat out into the gulf (Mexico) to go grouper fishing, at like 5 am, we had a couple sandwiches with us, some water, and a 12 pack of PBR. We get about a 1/4 mile out to a hole where we catch bait. We get a nice live-well full of bait and a shrimp boat comes up on us, the guys wanted beer. I traded my beer for 5 5 gallon buckets of right out of the net gulf shrimp, went back home put the shrimp on ice and went back to bed. Ruined the fishing trip but we had one hell of a party that night.
    1. Firkroy
      It sounds like you made a good trade. Shrimp sounds pretty good right about now. -looks in fridge- Darn fresh out

    The only beer i like is Sierra Nevada Pale Ale -- 2 make me sleepy now White Lightin on the other hand...
    1. DollinNYC
      Sierra Nevada is great. I would only drink PBR if I was constipated.
    2. tcinvestor
      LOL Dolly.. You have a point, it could work better than prune juice.

    Now this is the good stuff www.ninkasibrewing.com/ I have to get over to the brewery here real soon. I have to get some Slaye'R Christmas beer. Drooooool.

    PBR, Milwaukee's "Beast", Genny Ale, Natty Light - all beers you should take when you don't have a laxative in the house.

    I'm a Bud girl if I have to drink beer, but I prefer the milk of the gods - Captain Morgan's rum. On those occassions where I'd prefer to just get shitfaced fast - good bottle of red wine with four aspirin. If I need to hide the smell of liquor - Vodka, preferably Kettle One, Skyy or Grey Goose.
    1. tcinvestor
      LOL.. spoken from personal experience no doubt. Sadly, I remember all of those beers from back in my youth.

    One guy in my home town always said that PBR was the only beer. He was wrong. There are thousands of awesome quality beers beyond the mass produced buds millers etc
