“Pabst Blue Ribbon is the quintessential American brand – it represents individualism, egalitarianism and freedom of expression – all the things that make this country great,”

I liked Pabst until he had to go and say that!

[Octar]

I remember Rolling Rock which was brewed in PA being bought by Budweiser who moved it to New Jersey; closer to the racetracks and the source of horsepiss. They ruined the brand. Try Spotted Cow, brewed in New Glarus Wisconsin. It is actual beer.

It will now be known as Pabst Голубая лента (Blue Ribbon in Russian for those in Rio Linda)

The beer that made Johnny Russell famous LOL.

[DoughtyOne]

Brilliant move at a time when relations with Russia could go south in a big big way. /s

I’d hate to see these brands evaporate due to a potential mistake like this.

[Pontiac]

But seriously INBEV is buying Miller and now Pabst is being bought by OASIS.

Are there going to be any big national beer makers left that are owned by Americans

[The Unknown Republican]

Back in my drinking days, there was a bar that had penny pitcher night on Sundays. If you bought the first pitcher for full price, the rest of the night you could buy an unlimited number of PBR-Dark pitchers for 1 cent each. That stuff was nasty, but for a starving student it was good enough.

All I can say is... Ha Ha Ha Ha!

All Vladimir Putin can say is... Ha Ha Ha Ha-ski!

[Organic Panic]

Good Riddance.

[Bullish]

I haven’t had a Pabst in probably 40 years. Do they still taste like ass?

[GeronL]

I wonder how much of Oasis is owned by the Kremlin?

“Pabst Blue Ribbon is the quintessential American brand – it represents individualism, egalitarianism and freedom of expression – all the things that make this country great,”

Even robots can see the humor in that one.

[Smokin' Joe]

They also used to brew “Red, White, and Blue”. I am sure the Russians are chortling over that.

[dfwgator]

Frank Booth will not be pleased.

[Cowboy Bob]

Must admit...I’ve never heard of Oasis Beverages.

There's no place that I'd rather be than right here
With my Red Necks, White Socks, & Blue Ribbon Beer.

Clever marketers in China managed to sell PBR for $44 a bottle. Probably the Russians are trying to replicate the same effect of it being "premium elite beer" in Russia.

PBR.. selected as America’s best in 1893 and not one award since.

[who knows what evil?]

A long-dead friend of mine used to sit down to watch the PBA Tour every Saturday on ABC without fail...a cold six-pack of Pabst ‘pounders’ by his side...no other ‘beer’ would suffice.

[McGruff]

During my misspent youth I would drink PBRs sometimes. It was a cheap beer. Anybody remember Genneesee Cream Ale? At that time Heineken was about the only foreign beer. Nowadays if you don't drink some designer beer you're uncivilized. Sold to the Russians, I thought they were vodka drinkers. Probably cheap vodka too.
