yes! thank you. here it was either PBR or lone star, but they are the same beer so it all depended on what ran out first. nearly every memory since 7th grade or so involves the blue and white PBR can in some way. i guess it’s different if you didn’t grow up blue collar, or didn’t go to shows every week, but i was just as surprised as you to find out PBR was cool. it was never cool, it was just ALWAYS THERE!
I don’t like beer enough to drink crappy beers. I’ll only drink PBR when I’m intending to get smashed (which happens rarely), and then I drink it really fast.
And on hot days, it’s all about mountain dew. Really, the day doesn’t have to be that hot. Anything above 60 will do. Or maybe below 60 if I’m wearing a warm coat or something.
wtf is with all this high fucktose love? seriously pbr is better for you than mountain dew.
I remember when my parents saw some empty PBR cans lying around my house. To this day, they continuously make fun of the fact that I drink the “poor mans beer.”

+1 except here it was PBR or Dixie.
don’t underestimate pbr’s trendsetting power. in a year or so, we’ll be having this same discussion over here:http://www.rodeoboards.com/
Nowadays Hamm’s is about as trendy as PBR here and the two are fairly interchangeable mainly for price reasons and the fact that the two taste pretty close to the same. Comparing most cheap domestic beers is just apples to apples, I don’t see how you guys can whine about Pabst and then profess your love for High Life or whatever - it’s all a bunch of brand loyalty bullshit anyway until you get to the microbrews and real stuff. I had a bet with my roommate about this very thing, he said he could easily identify Corona out of a lineup of other cheap lager beers, I called bullshit. We had a blind “name that beer” contest to settle it and both flunked.
Haha, same here, from about 8th grade on i was surrounded by pbr at the local dive bar that put on punk shows where I spent nearly every friday and saturday night.
Lonestar is nothing like dos equis…dos is made by Anheuser-Busch which is basically bud.
It is however like PBR’s cousin…just better looking and tasting
It’s all about Coor’s Original now get with the program
The fact that is brewed by the same company is the funny part. There are some of the texan persuasion who think anyone from “over the boarder” or anyone who drinks something like Dos Equis, is an asshole.
All image. Its all about image.

It’s not pbrs cousin at all. It’s a cheap regional beer. Like oly or ranier in the nw, dixie in la, old style in the midwest, genesee or yeungling in their respective areas of the northeast etc. That’s substantially different than a national beer just by the ethos accompanying it’s consumption.
Olympia is pretty close to PBR/Hamm’s in taste as well… Rainier’s not far off either, I’d say slightly better than the rest but maybe that’s because I’ve had everything else enough to be sick of it and Rainer not as much.
^this^
My two cents about cheap beer: I recently discovered that Trader Joe’s sells a beer called Minhas Mountain Creek which is cheaper than PBR and tastes substantially better, more like Kirin Ichiban or maybe Tecate. Goodbye PBR, you’re overpriced around here anyway.
Also,
and the sample source.
PBR, Lone Star, Dos Equis, and a bunch of other cheap beers are all brewed by the same company. it’s essentially the same beer in the end with different packaging and advertising. PBR IS LONESTAR. wasn’t always, but it is now. and it all sucks.
weirdly enough, if i drink hamms i usually have a hangover, pbr on the other hand does not give me a hangover.
out of the can, pbr is better then hamms
on tap i call it dead even!
We used to drink Falls City around these parts, but they went out of business last year. PBR is $1 at most bars around here. I usually get a few good micro brews (Bells, Avery, Dog Fish Head) on tap, then switch to shit PBR.
This it the truth. It actually has some flavor, which is nice.
I knew this Pinko hipster coffeeshop doofus that used to call PBR “People’s Beer of the Republic.” He wouldn’t ever use “PBR,” it was always that dumbass phrase. Luckily he ended up moving away so I didn’t ever have to see him anymore.

But deep down inside you know his stupidity goes on just at another location.
And it eats you up inside.
Doesn’t it?
It does.
