PBR is quite possibly the nastiest beer ever.

SuperCMC: PBR is quite possibly the nastiest beer ever.


It's not even the nastiest in that headline. Olympia was farking gross.

"It's the water." Indeed.

stupid hipsters.

Here is why PBR is making a comeback. It's farking cheap, that and Schlitz. Hmmm... Can't wait to get off of work and drink a Schlitz.

Registration required!

How did this get greenlighted while my latest submissions, "Gay Hating Boy Scouts Blame George Bush For Sickening Scouts. Why do the Gay Hating Scouts hate America and what do they know about George Bush?", and "Hurricanes getting stronger. And Leon is getting laaaaarrrrrger." did not?

I'll tell you why. It's the least expensive beer and everyone in this country (the USA) is getting so damn poor (housing costs, gas prices, jobs going overseas, inflation, etc.) that it's the only beer anyone can afford to buy anymore. There's your answer, Einstein!

Anyone remember Red White & Blue?

Possibly the worst beer EVAR!

Pabst is good beer - for killing the slugs in my garden.

"Pabst is good beer - for killing the slugs in my garden."

i know two people who will admit to buying Pabst somewhat regularly.

1) my parents who use it in the garden for slugs
2) a guy i used to work with who insisted he couldn't afford not to drink it

People who aren't in Portland really don't understand the magnitude of this. PBR is EVERYWHERE.

There's no accounting for taste. I think the sheeple just like the Red, White, and Blue label. But it's cheap, that's for sure.

Beer trifecta?

piels > pabst

I have a couple half-racks of PBR in my fridge. I don't know why I drink it, but I do. It doesn't taste bad. It doesn't taste good. It just doesn't taste. Of course there are good beers in my fridge too, but sometimes you're in the mood for sparkling water with a slight alcohol content. For those times, there's PBR.

I drink it because
a) it's cheap
b) all american beer tastes like horse pee, so refer to a
c) I didn't realize this was an Oregon thing


/prefers Japanese beer

oh god i hate tongue-in-cheek hipsters. they are worse then hippies.

Anyone remember this brand?



Good in a pinch,when I was a poor college student,but ugh.

Take two Amsterdam Blondes and call me in the morning.

/Girls or beer - both are fine with me

You guys are all forgetting Kingbury.

I live in Portland. See hippies and trendsters drinking PBR constantly. It really is a huge craze.

No matter how much I try it, it still tastes nasty. I wont drink it just to be trendy. Hand me a coors and we're good.

Have you all forgotten that Tuborg is the nastiest beer ever?

It's truely an Oregon thing. I drink PBR on a regular basis. But the craze is truely an Oregon thing and it is everywhere. Every bar, every store, even a couple barber shops serve PBR. I can't explain it. But I like PBR as a cheap-gets-you-drunk beer, prefer it much over Coors or Bud.

Has this woman not left the house in 10 years or something? Next: Remember "Diet Pepsi"??? They still make that stuff!! Who knew??

I hear it's growing resurgance in popularity is due to the mass consumption of PBR by PA punk band Slow Andy. Serious.

No one's mentioned Natty Light?!

My college life guide to cheep beer:

* Genesse Cream Ale - awful. Cheap. Local. If you drank enough, you got the "Genny Screams" - horrible beer-fueled diarrhea.

* Black Label: the cheapest, most piss-flavored beer on the planet. Cheaper than generic beer, too. Only for the truly desperate.

* F.X. Matt's: Pioneer of the "beer ball". Just awful. Some idiot had to take the empty plastic beer ball and make furniture or light fixtures out of it afterwards.

I just had a delightful afternoon at a beer garden in NYC's East Village - located at Ave. C and 7th st. A couple of liters of Jever Pilsner - light, bitter, refreshing. Yum.

jh

PBR got me through college - 16 oz. bottles for under $10 a case? you bet I'm going that route

the nastiest out there probably is Hamm's - or Genny Creme Ale from a keg

It's not an Oregon thing. It's a college/scenester thing all over.

And it goes great with Sparks.

You can always tell an east coaster when they say that their youth was fueled by Genesse, you can't even get that stuff here.

Old dutch was the worst

Remember used to drink red white and blue quarts for 88 cents each in the 80's

luckytango: It's not an Oregon thing. It's a college/scenester thing all over.

agreed - it started out as a "hip" thing - but that was about 10 years ago in the Boston area at least

While we're ranting; Rolling Rock tastes like sugar water, Yuengling is teh crappsors, and tecate may as well be PBR.
Oh, Sapporo is made in Canada by Molson, and, uh... well I still like Guinness.

Take it from a SoCal native, this is the worst beer produced by man...



Although this one was the only one to receive a score of 0.0 in my book where 5000 beers are rated...

jonnyh

You clearly went to college in New York State. I had totally forgotten about that Black Label crap. Thanks for the reminder.

I drink PBR all the time. 12.49 for a case. Can't beat that!

And, everybody knows that Steel Reserve is the worst beer ever. OH GOD. Tastes like a combination of urine, defecation and vomit mixed into one unholy concoction.

What about Rhinelander? Six dollars for a case of ice cold bottles. Possibly the most disgusting beer ever.

PBR is back because people realized it tastes better than just about anything those schmucks at Bud/Miller can produce, and it's a buck or two cheaper to boot. Plus you don't have to give up your normal routine of the hour-long screaming shiat the next morning.

/likes Pabst
//not a hipster
///nor a hippie

Jaboobinator: I had totally forgotten about that Black Label crap.


litle bit of trivia - in Animal House, when they order "7 Carling's and a coke" the Carling's they refer to is Black Label

taste like ass? of course, but you have to admire the history

Let's Play Fizzball! (clicky-pop)

"Get yourself a few cases of that cheap nasty beer that's usually found stacked and on sale near the checkout counters right before national drinking holidays..."

How about Koch's Golden Anniversary? Both horrible and obscure.

None of this matters if you live in Rhode Island...Narragansett Lager is coming home!

I love Pabst, but then again, I'm a condescending, snooty hipster-doofus. But I also drink Guinness and Miller High Life (the champaigne of beers), among other beer. So I'd like the Fark analysts to get to work and come up with a better personality profile if they can.

Here's the deal:

Dive bars are the name of the game in Portland for the largest drinking/spending sector, which is the 21-30 demo. Some fancy start-up places even design their bar as a dive to get more people to go there. Pabst is an old beer with a working class image, it fits perfectly with the dive bars that are on every corner in Portland. And it's a good, cheap, gets-you-drunk beer for less then 2 dollars a pint. I go to my corner bar which I live less then a block from all the time and order a Pabst for $1.50. The price and the image of the beer recalls old times.

In many ways, Pabst Blue Ribbon never left, sir. It's always offered the same high quality beer at competitive prices.
