There are some more brands to boycott.

[Yo-Yo]

Will they change the name to Pabst Red Ribbon?

[R. Scott]

A lot of rednecks won’t like it.

Crapst...

As far as Schlitz they can keep it. It's name Schlitz is similar to what it takes like. Although I haven't drank any since the 1960s.

I try to only drink beer I can’t see though. The blacker, the better. If it has junk stuck to the bottom of the glass, pitcher, or bottle, even better.

PBR used to be a good working man’s beer. Then the stinking, skinny jean wearing, dirty hipsters started drinking it. It’s fitting the commies bought it.

[Dr. Ursus]

That’s it! I’m not drinking any of these s*** beers anymore!

Some Russians bought into the names of a bunch of defunct brewing empires and whatever facilities go with them? Unless they invent a time machine, the Russians can't screw up the great beers of the distant past or improve the crap that was being churned out before these once-popular beers went belly up. When one of the new owners says something about "egalitarian" beer, that is a pretty good sign that actual improvement in taste isn't forthcoming, but quantity over quality is the rule. Make it the Section 8 price-point favorite and it'll probably be a gold mine.

All the old iconic American beers disappeared or went to hell years ago because of (take your choice):

1. Prohibition
2. WWII impressment (Emperor Roosevelt II)
3. The third generation of the founder's family flew the brand into the ground after the second generation did a piss-poor job of parenting.

Yeah, I'm being flip, but take any combination of the above and you won't be far off.

Its so weird, they write this like Pabst actually has breweries. Miller contract brews all their brands so what is the purchaser really getting? Recipes and names.

Some of the worst beer I’ve ever had was Moskovskoye, which was ubiquitous in Moscow when I visited there when it was still Soviet and Leonid Brezhnev was the head honcho. It came in thick bottles, like Seven Up, and was always served warm.

In the better eateries, you could get a cold bottle of Stella beer from Egypt.

[njslim]

Stick to Yuengling (if live in east)

America;s oldest brewery, family owned for 7 generations by American’s ...........

[FlJoePa]

Another one bites the dust, and Yuengling's market share will continue to increase.

[353FMG]

The last time I had a Pabst was in the 50’s and someone paid for it.

[FreeReign]

How bad is Pabst?

Back in my college days thirsty alcohol craving college kids would avoid keg parties when Pabst was on tap.

[ops33]

When I was in high school PBR was the most popular beer because it was sweet and cheap. Wonder if it still the beer of choice with young kids.

Does OdumBO know?
