Boozier Pabst Blue Ribbon Extra Coming this Spring

So, a light Malt Liquor like Mickey's? That could be okay.

 

They've got a ways to go, but I guess they're trying to catch up to AB's "Budweiser family" line extensions.

And that's not counting the PBR Light and the PBR 5.9% brewed by Sleeman in Canada.

(I guess PBR is one of their lone bright spots, esp. now that Not Your Father's/Mother's FMB's are crashing).

No Pabst Blue Ribbon Ale revival yet?(Just as well, MC can't brew a decent American-style ale. Or maybe they just can't do it for the money Pabst is willing to pay them).

 

Sounds like bud light platinum

 

Why don't they cut to the chase and call it "Imperial PBR"?

A little low for an Imperial, but works.

 

Sounds good to me, PBR is about as easy drinking as a beer can possibly get.

 

I have been thinking this for years, but never said anything, until now.

I sincerely appreciate the images/pictures you find and post.

Thank you for all of your efforts.

 

As long as it doesn't smell like Bud Light Platinum.

 

Yup and with this being released soon it will be fresh. I will definitely be checking this out when I see it.

 

Me too, one thing that’s absolutely certain is that it will not suck.

 

So just regular high-gravity-brewed PBR that isn't diluted?

 

Got a sample. It’s dangerous. I think people are going to like it.

 

Yeah, who knows? While the geekery is ridiculing the websites of AB's and MC's listing of their ingredients and mocking AB's "corn syrup" ads, Pabst (Contract) Brewing Co. offers nothing of the kind and yet maintains it's "hip" image for many.

Check out the Pabst Blue Ribbon website - lots of articles about PBR "art" and a large online store for PBR hats, sweatsocks, golf tees and Jenga games - but if you didn't know it already you'd have no idea that Pabst Blue Ribbon is a beer, much less any info on it.

Then there's this headline about the tiny brewery they opened in a building in the former 5.5M bbl. Milwaukee facility they closed in the 1990s:

"Brewery made beers". What does that even mean? That's the best they could come up with?

[Bartender, pointing to tap handles]: "Hey, see these beers here? Yup, made in a brewery!"

Maybe they mean they were made in their brewery, unlike +99% of the 5 million barrels of beer they sell, brewed at MillerCoors or City or other companies' breweries?

A previous version of their site had a description of Pabst Blue Ribbon beer that read like a parody:

 

"original brewery made beers". That is the way I read it (i.e., their brewery) but I am confident that you will comment that it is not really their "original" brewery.

Cheers!

 

I will snag some to check it out, curious how people will react to this one.

 

Correct me if I'm wrong, but PBR prices have skyrocketed as of lately. Used to be a solid $8.99 12pk now I'm seeing it at $12.99.

 

Here in AZ at TW its 18 cans for $13.99.

 

Minneapolis 24PK of Pabst 12OZ can's ...$14

 

I really like PBR but not sure I'll buy this, at 6.5% it's a bit too heavy to session and if I'm just going to drink 1 beer, I'd rather have something with a bit more flavor. 5.5% would be better IMO.
