I don't get the adulation this beer gets. It is a competent American-style lager, but nothing special to me. In my neck of the woods, Shiner is like that. Many think it is special, but I find it to be just a little better than the giant factory brews.

No knock on Yuengling, and I'm glad you have a brew you like.

I live deep in Yuengling country and still enjoy it but it does seem somewhat “corny” to me in that they use a relatively high amount of corn as the grain used.

I just discovered this stuff this weekend and think it’s really good for a light beer and the retro-style labeling is pretty cool too:

Anyone remember Pabst Dark on draught?
Only dark beer I ever really liked.
Everybody’s Pizza in Decatur sold it in 1974.
Was epic with their their then excellent pizza.
I think they stopped making it.

I drank a lot of PBR, Schlitz, and Blatz growing up in Wisconsin. Miller was a big name too. We used to play a bar that offered 5 Millers for a buck on Tuesday nights. You had to take them all at once. I think we made $30 each a night for a 4 hour gig.

I would really like to have a quart of Jax beer. When I was working as a busboy-dishwasher 35 years ago I would drink that to unwind after work.

Hot shower, Jax beer, C64 game, bed.

PBR is one of the best typical American lagers out there. It's not fancy, and it works.

I drank a lot of PBR in college and in the Army. There was a lot of it in Vietnam and it was $2.40 a case.

I am now drinking mainly Coors Banquet. The VFW has or did have PBR on tap, but I have not been there for a couple of years. May have to stop by and try a PBR again,

It's what I reach for most of the time when Hamm's is not in stock (I have memories of the Bear, and Bo Svenson narrating the commercials from the '80s). PBR seems a little smoother these days from what I would drink a bit of it ages ago. Perhaps my tastes have changed. For some reason the 16 ounce cans are now hard to find; I prefer those to 12s. Sixteen ounces does the trick when wanting a brew; 12, gotta open two of them.

P.S. Got a six pack of Hamm's chilling for chili later this week.

I’ll preface this, that I am not a huge beer drinker but do enjoy it. I prefer local craft beers and gravitate toward dark and stout beers. I had a PBR for the first time in decades this weekend and it was better than expected. I was never a Bud Light drinker unless that’s all there was to drink.

My brother and his gal used to have a huge Summer cook out. Two grills going, all manner of foods, I played horse shoes all day and enjoyed my favorite beer, Rolling Rock. I would enjoy have a couple on tap.

As recently as 2005 I remember it being on sale for $9/30 at the grocery store. No tax or deposit here either. Bought 5 x 30 and drove to NC for a golf week with guys I used to work with.

From Wikipedia, so I'm sure it's true:

quote:
Rolling Rock is a 4.4% abv American lager[1] launched in 1939 by the Latrobe Brewing Company. Although founded as a local beer in Western Pennsylvania, it was marketed aggressively and eventually became a national product. The brand was sold to Anheuser-Busch of St. Louis, Missouri, in mid-2006, which transferred brewing operations to New Jersey while continuing to label the new beer prominently with the name of Latrobe.


They must own over half of all the national brands in the US.

There isn't that much beer!

I favor dark malty beers, up to and including stouts and porters, but in the good old "party with a cooler full of beers" days I'd grab a PBR before even looking at the Buds, Millers, et. al. in the tub. Not the worst American Pale Lager recipe by a long shot. I might give that prize to Schaeffer, a truly putrid brew.

As for actual PBR, it is now brewed by conglomerate Molson Coors — to be transferred to City Brewing in LaCrosse, Wisconsin, by 2024 — through contractual agreement. PBR's other legacy brands also are brewed by third parties.

That's a far cry from when Jacob Best founded the Best and Company brewery in Milwaukee as a tiny operation in 1844, and began making the beer that would eventually become PBR.

I drank PBR back in college purely because it was the "best" of the really cheap beers. (That is to say: the least bad.)

Thankfully, I can afford much better beer nowadays.

America's oldest brewery. They've had a lot of practice making good beer. They focus on selling beer instead of selling gender confusion. What's not to like?
