Why do you drink PBR?

I've never tried it.

 

Last time I drank a PBR was at Norfolk,VA (NB) enlisted club in the late 1970, I think it was 40 cents a can. plus tip.
Still I did drink Miller part of the early 1970's. had to have something to chase down the booze.

 

For an adjunct it's not that bad. Had a few last night at a Danzig concert--$4:00 a 16oz can.

 

Polish horseshoes

 

I don't.

 

I've never had it before, so I'll buy it and try it out someday.

 

because Clint Eastwood drank it in Gran Torino

 

If had spent a week in the desert and there was LITERALLY nothing else to drink except PBR, Corona, Falstaff, Mich Ultra and tequila. I would rather squeeze the guts out of bugs or lick the sweat off an armadillo. But I don't have strong feelings either way.

 

I drank PBR when I became old enough to drink. I also drank RW&B at the same time. Who remembers that one? Coincidentally, that was when I became wise enough to begin learning from my mistakes.

 

ya, it is good for chasing whiskey too. I forgot about that. In fact, here in Philadelphia, they have what they call the citywide special. Which is a shot of brown (well liquor, nothing good) and a pounder of PBR for $2. It's good to have that in your back pocket if money gets tight.

 

Yes. This too. my dad and his hunting buddies. Drinking this or busch with a dead buck or two on the roof of the bronco II, blood running down the side of the truck. This shit touches my soul.

 

Because Frank Booth says so.

 

How much longer do we need to discuss beer scatology?

 

I don't drink it.

Truthfully, it is less horrible than most AALs and I might drink it if it were not so damn hip to drink these days.

My wife and I were at a restaurant last week that serves a limited craft menu. We saw a table full of hipster dudes drinking PBR pounders. The sad part was that they paid about a buck less per beer than I did for quality stuff. To me, that's nuts!

 

I rarely drink it but when I do, it's because it was my dad's favorite beer.

 

It's cheap, it's ubiquitous, it's better (to my palate anyway) than similar alternatives, and it's my body I do what I want.

 

I don't understand why PBR became thee hipster beer.
Old school label, check.
Red, white and blue, check.
Cheap, check.
Seems anti-elitist, check.

I guess that's the formula.

 

Because I like to switch back and forth between say a PBR and some craft offering. Just got back from the Ocean today (Dillion's Beach,CA) rented a house with about 14 people, had a Stone mixed pack and PBR tall boys. Had a great time drinking PBR and "shooting the shit" with family and friends. Also PBR just tastes right with a pack of Marbolo Reds and at 1am in the morning eating pancakes lol.

 

I'll drink it if a friend offers me one, but I prefer to boil bratwurst with it before throwing them on the grill.

 

in 2003 when I was in college, we could get a keg of it for $32. This was in Fairfield county Connecticut, not exactly a cheap locale. Need I say anymore?
