I'm drinking Pabst Blue Ribbon tonight. Enjoy a nice PBR with me.
Thats right. The brew of champions. Selected as America's Best Beer in 1893. Liquid gold. They only give the blue ribbon to the best. Everytime i take a swig, i feel like i'm first across the finish line. Established in Milwaukee 1844.

Henry David Thoreau was at Walden Pond. James Polk was in the white house advocating the Monroe doctrine and aggressive expansion into the West. Samuel Morse sent his first telegraph message. Friedrich Nietzsche was born. The Raven was published by Edgar Allan Poe. Florida admitted as 27th state. Texas annexed as 28th state. The Count of Monte Cristo published. The Irish potato famine begins. The saxophone is patented. The first baseball game under modern rules is played.

PBR has been there for it all. And you can enjoy all that history for only $3.49 a six pack. Talls.

Just the "kiss of the hops"

5. LOL.
cheers!

but i have to ask. ok.

how do you start out with a beer that is "Milwaukee's Best". i mean, dont you have to put out a beer, and then it gets judged to be milwaukee's best? did they just come out with a beer and no one called them on it? or did they put out another beer first, it got the best, then they changed the name?

????

12. what is the best cheap beer?
by cheap beer i mean sub-domestic prices. It's funny how individual people are about their beer preferences, especially when you get down to the shitty beer.

my favorite cheap beer: Keystone Light. It tastes like carbonated water and will *@#$# you up. From my college days. The weird thing about Keystone is i would say about 75% of the six packs have dented cans. They are always dented.(why?)

PBR aint too bad, unless you get a skunky batch.
Lone Star in a bottle is a little worse, but still drinkable. and they put puzzles under the bottle cap. (stumps me for hours)
Icehouse will $#*W$# you up, period. You think it wont, but it will. I dont buy Icehouse except at 11:58pm.
Miller High Life is not my thing. (champagne of beers?) I will drink Miller High Life Light however.
Busch is ok but more funky than Keystone. Natural Light about the same as Busch.
Anything with ICE in the title is suspect, but i will drink if necessary.
Schlitz i only drink on camping trips. This is tradition.

13. PBR rocks!
My favorite cheap beer is Ballantine Ale, however. I've got Samuel Adams Pale Ale in my fridge right now, though.
