I tumbled upon Pabst during my Miami vacation and filled my luggage with it in order to use up the max allowed weight on my flight back to Europe where I gave it to some family beer experts. They were thankful for my gift and said it was a fine drinkable beer with a pleasant aftertaste and enough gas. Besides they appreciated the 24 oz cans saying this beer lasts long enough to quench their thirst:)
I never understood this "hipster" shit, I like PBR cause it's just as affordable as Steel Reserve and Natural Ice, but tastes comparable to the more expensive lagers.
This is definitely my favorite beer. it is my go to beer that I always have on me at home, by the pool, or at the bar. I will drink yuengling if a bar does not have this beer, but I first try for this.
Being from Quebec, craft beer have been popular for a long time. That's what I reach for when I want to savour a beer. But if I am working around the house or going to a gathering, PBR gets picked up 8 times out of 10 over any other macro brewery beers. It's the best tasting cheap beer on the market in my opinion.
You can only get it through Superior Beverage Group, which is in Columbus, Cleveland and Mansfield. They are the only ones that sell it. They sell it in 24 pack of bottles for around $20.
Yep, I live in Ohio. It's available in most package stores in Columbus, and available in the rest on special order. Shout out to Blacklick Wine and Spirits on the East Side.
I think I need to do a blind taste test with this and some other macros. People keep telling me that it tastes better, but I think it would blend in amongst other similar adjunct lagers.
I enjoy Tripels and Stouts. I love the Chimay and Allagash Tripels, and really enjoy Guinness Foreign Extra Stout, Founders Breakfast Stout, and Smiths Oatmeal. Great Divide imperial is great as well.
By the way NEWARK has the water. Ballantine, Kruegar, Pabst, Budweiser, Fiegenspan, Hensler to name a few were / are brewed there. Rheingold a NY beer, moved to nearby Orange , NJ and Trommers in Harrison, NJ, same water.
PBR is pretty good if you ask me. It's pretty crisp and for it's price it's got plenty of flavor and drink ability for me personally. I've got to give it a 6 myself, even though the other guys I review with gave it 8s. I just can't give it an 8 myself though.
@pizzaman123 You have to remember that when we started the show none of us had any beer experience. Our mission wasn't to promote craft beer. It was to talk about all different beers whether we liked them or not. However, in the course of trying all these beers we've discovered tons of craft beers that we love and our tastes have changed a lot. And, we've turned a lot of fizzy, yellow beer drinkers into craft beer drinkers because they like our laid-back unpretentious approach.
@WehrmachtLuftwaffe I agree. People should drink what they like and not worry about what other people like. I only brought up the hipster thing because that is an important part of the resurgence of Pabst Blue Ribbon.
There is a bar in town that sells this beer for $.50 on Monday nights, $2.50 for a pitcher. So awesome. Plus this beer is WAY better than almost every other American Lager.
My favorite adjunct lager is Grain Belt Premium, PBR is decent. I am thinking of buying some Schlitz Gusto Classic 60's formula. Have you had a chance to try it?
@albedo0point39 Shipped from Germany? That's dedication. This is just a so-so beer, but it is a decent session beer for a tailgate or something like that. Do you "tailgate" in the UK?
12 or 18 pack every week; tastes great even after warming a pretty good bit. On a real good day i'd swear it has a little saison tinge to it. Good work boys and tell Miller Lite guy to chill! LOL
@AgileHProductions That's probably a tie between warsteiner and lienenkugel original. I know those aren't really expensive but they are like 7 or 8$ for a six pack by me where as PBR is like 12 or 13$ for a case of 30.
Bartender said we got pbr and bud select on tap for a dollar each. Im choosing pbr every time. Plus it taste much better on tap than in can like most beers. If you haven't tried it on tap and have a bad opinion about it the find a place that has it on tap. It will change your mind. Only thing I'm picking over this in a bar is a sam adams cold snap or boston lager
well if you like lager, Ribbon is not bad at all. LAger is generally EZPZ to make... Most taste same and people cant really tell difference with lager. It's just the ale that make people think it's sweet or it's bitter which makes differencee.
Why not? We do all sorts of beers from the best in the world to the worst. I think doing varying qualities of beer helps keep it all in perspective. Drinking a bad beer every now and then makes the good beers seem extra good.
Yeah, I like it. I bought an 18 pack for 11 bucks earlier tonight. Budweiser is 15 bucks for an 18 pack at the same store! (Walmart in FL.) It just hurts to pay that price for an 18 pack when there's another beer on the shelf that I like just as much as the other one.
its almost impossible to buy PBR here in liverpool england. There is specialist beer importers and sometimes they get it for american theme bars but your gunna pay£££.I managed to buy 2 cases for £35 a case thats $90 !!!!!!! but it xmas so wot the hell!
Pabst did an underground marketing campaign with bicycle messengers that helped it become popular at bars that were popular amongst the alt-culture crowd.
Rolling Rock is a pretty good AAL. It's cheaper than bottled water and doesn't have any off putting taste to it and is quite pleasant and very drinkable for an AAL. If I had the option, I'd choose a Boston Lager over any AAL, but for my money, Rolling Rock is my AAL of choice.
haha i wanted to try it out because of all the hipster hype surrounding it. It's honestly a very light tasting beer, and I like that. It's a beer you could drink everyday affordably.
@CheertoBeers Overall, we don't know enough about styles to really rate every beer by style. However, we do have some background expertise in the American Adjunct Lager category. :)
After watching the review it makes sense to rate beer in categories or styles. But how to fit this in your format this late in the game? Very good review overall! My go to is Yuengling Black and Tan.
It's not a time or place beer, it's a "how many quarters can you find in the couch" beer. I say that with super love for PBR.
I tumbled upon Pabst during my Miami vacation and filled my luggage with it in order to use up the max allowed weight on my flight back to Europe where I gave it to some family beer experts.

Hipster shit be damned, its pretty good, and its cheap so...... win.
Best cheap beer of all time.
My favorite beer
Thumbs up if you watched this video while drinking a PBR.
+basportsfan oh ya bud.
+Drew H.
I'm with ya!
+basportsfan I just do this because I'm curious about what others think of my shitty beer choices.
All the time!
That picture is priceless lol. Vintage beer ads are the best.
Its a good beer. Drink it frequently.
It is an awesome beer 🍺
I never understood this "hipster" shit, I like PBR cause it's just as affordable as Steel Reserve and Natural Ice, but tastes comparable to the more expensive lagers.
THAT GUY IS GETTING SO UPSET LMAOO
good beer....
This is definitely my favorite beer. it is my go to beer that I always have on me at home, by the pool, or at the bar. I will drink yuengling if a bar does not have this beer, but I first try for this.
Thnx for the review!! This Miller High Life and Rolliing Rock were my fave macrobrews in the 80s! Have a great 4th of July too!
It drinks well, priced well and the history is there! First beer in a can, red, White and blue label. I like it.
Were they really first Beer in a can ? Thanks.
best beer cheap and delicious every day pbr
@CraigKramer No worries. I hope you will continue to watch. We have come a long way in our beer journey, but still have a long way to go.
PBR is not a hipster beer.

This is the best BBA episode
I enjoy Tripels and Stouts. I love the Chimay and Allagash Tripels, and really enjoy Guinness Foreign Extra Stout, Founders Breakfast Stout, and Smiths Oatmeal. Great Divide imperial is great as well.
I Love PBR and its even better on tap, thanks for the review !
By the way NEWARK has the water. Ballantine, Kruegar, Pabst, Budweiser, Fiegenspan, Hensler to name a few were / are brewed there. Rheingold a NY beer, moved to nearby Orange , NJ and Trommers in Harrison, NJ, same water.
my go to 12 pack when I'm short on money for the week.
I hate beer snobs. Drink what you want to drink.
Love me some PBR
PBR is pretty good if you ask me. It's pretty crisp and for it's price it's got plenty of flavor and drink ability for me personally. I've got to give it a 6 myself, even though the other guys I review with gave it 8s. I just can't give it an 8 myself though.
Thanks. We like your comments.
@AgileHProductions Union trouble. So, they solved that issue by outsourcing. It's more efficient, anyway.
drank 9 of these last night. woke up feeling fresh.I love it
You can't get a 30 rack of PBR in Chicago for 11.99 all day and night.
On a sale sometimes you can find it for 9.99
@pizzaman123 You have to remember that when we started the show none of us had any beer experience. Our mission wasn't to promote craft beer.

I like Pabst.For what it is, it deserves a better rating than Bud.
A quintessential AAL. There's a reason it's been around since 1844
@WehrmachtLuftwaffe I agree. People should drink what they like and not worry about what other people like. I only brought up the hipster thing because that is an important part of the resurgence of Pabst Blue Ribbon.

Have you had Yuengling? I think their porter or black n tan are a "good bang for your buck" beer.
Love the bucks hat! Also, hanging out in Morrill tower, drinking PBR, watching the basketball tournament. best. day. ever.
@MrDonamus Does the liquor store you work at have a good beer selection?
What about underwater? Is it great underwater?
@brandon0409 Got it. Thanks for the explanation. I would hate for you to miss out on some of the tasty imported beers.
Hasn't the price gone up in the last couple of years? How much do you pay for it?
My favorite adjunct lager is Grain Belt Premium, PBR is decent. I am thinking of buying some Schlitz Gusto Classic 60's formula. Have you had a chance to try it?
If your on budget and like to get a good buzz after work definitely go with this beer.
Miller Light over PBR ? you don't like the taste of beer
Yuengling is big in Ohio these days. It's only been here about a year.
The greatest thing about PBR is that it's cheap beer.
Cheap yet quality beer.
There has definitely been a resurgence of people who appreciate this fine beer.
@brandon0409 I thought that was odd too. That's why I pointed it out.
I haven't seen that in the store for a while. I wonder if it's still sold in Ohio.
@BootyFreak69 Where do you buy Old Style? State? I haven't seen it in a while.
@albedo0point39 Shipped from Germany? That's dedication. This is just a so-so beer, but it is a decent session beer for a tailgate or something like that. Do you "tailgate" in the UK?
@XtianFreak I need to check that out. Was PBR a big part of it?
Pabst is the best beer when compared to the Big 3's
12 or 18 pack every week; tastes great even after warming a pretty good bit. On a real good day i'd swear it has a little saison tinge to it. Good work boys and tell Miller Lite guy to chill! LOL
The comment about his first drink from his dad, the exact thing happened to me. Thanks for reminding me. Blue Ribbon!
Great for what it is. I would def. pick this up over Coors, Bud, Molson ect.
I agree with your assessment. However, I did pick up Pabst as a cheap session beer last weekend. Does that make me a hypocrite?
Interesting. I've really enjoyed Sam Adams Imperial Series. I think the Wee Heavy is pretty good.
That's cool, but we don't have Albertson's where I live anymore.
@AgileHProductions That's probably a tie between warsteiner and lienenkugel original. I know those aren't really expensive but they are like 7 or 8$ for a six pack by me where as PBR is like 12 or 13$ for a case of 30.
In Canada BPR is known as a cheap beer for first years in university, it's so weird to hear you guys calling it an old-man / hipster beer
IT'S A GOOD CHEAP BEER. BEATS THE HOLY HELL OUT OF BUSH!
Drinking it right now damn good for the money when compared to possible alternatives.
Thanks! What are some of your other favorites?
Bartender said we got pbr and bud select on tap for a dollar each. Im choosing pbr every time. Plus it taste much better on tap than in can like most beers.

Where did you go ever the beer on tap was $1.00 please i need to know that's amazing never been anywhere where the beer is $1 on tap !!!!!
Stephanie Piña
maybe in texas near college? lol... not sure
Stephanie Piña Hamburger Joes in Myrtle Beach South Carolina !
I loved sipping beer as a toddler! I think P.B.R. is one of the better beers, as per American-style lager.
Why not? We do all sorts of beers from the best in the world to the worst. I think doing varying qualities of beer helps keep it all in perspective. Drinking a bad beer every now and then makes the good beers seem extra good.
@wildbilltexas When I'm in Texas I'm drinking Shiner.
Review Earthquake High Gravity Lager.
(can't wait to see that one...)
Great review to style for an AAL, nice!
Yeah, I like it. I bought an 18 pack for 11 bucks earlier tonight. Budweiser is 15 bucks for an 18 pack at the same store! (Walmart in FL.) It just hurts to pay that price for an 18 pack when there's another beer on the shelf that I like just as much as the other one.
@40ozkingcobra Not King Cobra?
@257milo Rating by style is definitely one way to go. We don't have enough experience to do that very well.
How do you think the beer should be poured?
its almost impossible to buy PBR here in liverpool england. There is specialist beer importers and sometimes they get it for american theme bars but your gunna pay£££.I managed to buy 2 cases for £35 a case thats $90 !!!!!!! but it xmas so wot the hell!
Pabst did an underground marketing campaign with bicycle messengers that helped it become popular at bars that were popular amongst the alt-culture crowd.
Is Pabst sold in Europe? I wanna try it.
@AgileHProductions Sort of. It plays a role in the episode. You can watch it southparkstudios.
@khunopie I like your play on words.
By far my favorite adjunct. I haven't tried Fosters, Rolling Rock, Red Stripe etc. mind you, but thus far PBR is my adjunct of choice.
Whatever happened to Olympia beer blast from the past but was good
@StumpyJoeJr I'll have to go check out the latest South Park episode. Was it about PBR?
@HeyJoeHaze Yeah. I think it has. It's not the cheapo beer it once was. The hipsters raised the demand for the product.
Rolling Rock is a pretty good AAL. It's cheaper than bottled water and doesn't have any off putting taste to it and is quite pleasant and very drinkable for an AAL. If I had the option, I'd choose a Boston Lager over any AAL, but for my money, Rolling Rock is my AAL of choice.
How should it have been poured in your opinion?
haha i wanted to try it out because of all the hipster hype surrounding it. It's honestly a very light tasting beer, and I like that. It's a beer you could drink everyday affordably.
You are quite the Old Style expert!
I live in Kalamazoo so I'm partial to Bell's. I also like almost anything from Sam Adams and Heineken. If I'm short on cash I'll drink anything
I am a big fan of Pabst Blue Ribbon, I have been drinking it since I was a youngin. When it comes to a cheap and GOOD lager. Pabst is the way to go!
I was referring to the guy that just turned his beer upside down leaving 3/4 the glass full of foam. Help him.
@gez1308 I need to catch a replay of that.
I prefer drinking most beers out of a bottle over a can. A good beer is best in a glass though where you can appreciate the aroma.
Is that ABV or ABW? The numbers are different.
@CheertoBeers Overall, we don't know enough about styles to really rate every beer by style. However, we do have some background expertise in the American Adjunct Lager category. :)
I just bought a 12 pack of PBR for $7.99. Very smooth, very drinkable. I'll take a PBR over Bud, Coors, or Miller any time.
After watching the review it makes sense to rate beer in categories or styles. But how to fit this in your format this late in the game? Very good review overall! My go to is Yuengling Black and Tan.
thanks for the review... excellent show!!!
