I just sent this to my mom to show her how much more this mother loves her daughter, than she loves me.

2.  Mum2B - July 28, 2008 at 8:19 am

Can someone enlighten me…. what is PBR?

3.  Niki - July 28, 2008 at 8:32 am

Mum2B-

PBR = Pabst Blue Ribbon

Very very icky cheap beer. A little lower that Natty Light.

I didn’t know what PBR was either!

I love the way this mom thinks! What a nice change from the kind of advice we usually give our kids.

Can someone enlighten me…. what is Natty Lite?

7.  Gracie - July 28, 2008 at 10:53 am

TimBuk2, Natty Lite is Natural Light, the low end of the Anheuser-Busch family of beers.

Ahh, memories of super cheap beers. I myself was “raised” on the Beast (a.k.a. Milwaukee’s Best), but you’d have to pay me the 25 cents to drink it now.

“no place i’d rather be than right here with my redneck, white socks and blue ribbon beer.”

my dad and sister drink pabst. I’ve never heard of Natty light either…is it a regional thing? (I’m from Jersey)

9.  TimBuk2 - July 28, 2008 at 11:42 am

Gracie: thanks. I’m not in tune with all these high-falutin beer brands…. but the Rhino Club on Sunday sounds fascinating.. I’ll bust open my piggy bank and tie one on…after church of course…

First of all, where is this bar??
Second of all, I would NOT rank PBR lower than Natty light. Natty light is gross. PBR is not quite as bad. As for the Beast, I’ll put that at the lowest. LOTS of college days spent drinking all three of these.
In fact, several years out of college, I’m still drinking PBR.
It might be a regional thing. PBR and Beast are both Wisconsin brands, I’m sure many of us Wisconsinites have fond memories of fathers and grandfathers drinking these when we were growing up.

My favorite was Grain Belt Beer…Had it in St. Paul…

12.  Jamesie - July 28, 2008 at 2:04 pm

Ah yes, Natty Light, Natty Ice (more alcohol per volume), PBR and the Beast… college days. Although I do say that we would buy a sixer of the good stuff and then a case of natty light for once we couldn’t really taste anything anymore LOL. I’m from the south so Nat Light and the beast are household names.

Um… is no one here from Texas or are we just not admiting to the days of Shlitz and Boone’s Farm?

14.  Becca - July 28, 2008 at 10:00 pm

very hipsterish lol…. love it!

15.  Lisa - July 29, 2008 at 3:55 pm

Ha! My dad drank Schlitz when I was growing up. Hilarious. My college days were filled with Busch Lite and now that I live in hipsterville, I’ve taken a liking to PBR. Mix it with orange juice for a PBR mimosa - amazing.

Grain Belt beer - If we’re talking Minnesota now, does anyone remember Hamms beer? “From the land of sky blue waters…..”

PBR was always a big favorite of the local softball teams after a game.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAA

Try Pfeiffer beer, I recall back in the ’80’s it was about $10 a CASE! What a deal and what a hang over…never saw it in cans, only bottles. Straight from the middle of the mitten of MI!!!

19.  Mum2B - July 30, 2008 at 8:30 am

Tx - now I know what PBR is….. of course, growing up in Canada, I know beer, and I would have to say Canadian beer kicks American beers’ ass!

20.  Angela - July 30, 2008 at 11:53 am

I am also from Canada, and I also didn’t know what PBR was. I also didn’t know that you could serve beer so cheaply. Where I’m from it is illegal to sell a beer for less than 2.20 cdn.
Cheap by the case we have Lucky Lager, or the king can of molsen dry. wonderful.

21.  Jeffrey - July 30, 2008 at 2:43 pm

ok, I am from the west, so does anybody remember Heidelburg beer? Bottle was shaped like a barrel? Do remember Hamms, the beer refreshing, Hammssss. Loved the bear.

22.  ohiomom - July 31, 2008 at 10:18 am

Ok Jeffrey–I remember Heidelburg and I’m from the East Coast. My Uncle from Kansas drank Hamms. What about Mickey’s in the wide mouth bottles?

23.  Liza - August 1, 2008 at 5:10 pm

Any east coasters (RI particularly) remember Narragansett? Now that is some classy, classy shit. We also used to drink Golden Anniversary in college. I am so glad those days are behind me

PUH-LEAZE — the best “college experience” has GOT TO BE a rented ski-house-that-sleeps-6-with 16-of-your-nearest-and-dearest and a pony of “Meister Chow” (Meister Brau).

Or….if you were REALLY desperate between paychecks from working at the “Bell,” going to your friend’s house and “borrowing” his Dad’s “Black Label….” 12 pack for $6…..

25.  Robyn - August 1, 2008 at 11:27 pm

liza … my husband told me to add “koch’s golden anniversary” to this list of crap beers. he drank it in college in upstate new york. you’re not alone!

That is most likely the dumbest thing I have heard in a good year and a half. Have you been to Portland, Oregon? I have tasted zero Canadian beers that left me saying, “well, that wasn’t watered down at all.”

Grower’s is the only thing Canada brews that is delicious, and that is not beer.

They still brew Hamm’s, the beer that makes your BM smell even worse. I am sure people are familiar with Olympia, Rainier, and Iron City beers, not to mention Old German. While cheap and in a can, these beers are much more delicious than your average PBR or Natty Lite.

PBR = Paperback Rhino

Genesee Beer from Rochester, New York has to be the cheapest and worst beer ever produced. It’s riced based, will leave you feeling like you stomach came out through your butt in the morning. If you’ve never tried it, DON’T!
