Glad to see there are some Pearl drinkers around! Grew up on the stuff. It is brewed in FTW at the Miller plant by Pabst. Pabst is now a 'virtual' brewery now and contracts everything out. I will say Pearl was much better in bottles and tap. Almost all of the old brands (Pearl, Lone Star, PBR, Hamm's, Stroh's, Heilmann's and so on) are owned by Pabst. Just picked up a 12 of Hamm's to taste. Schlitz is good, and PBR can even be found on tap, along with Old Style.

While some of the new beers are good, some of the drinkers are like many hybrid drivers. I suspect they may sniff their own farts. You always want to be careful to not risk your mancard.:sweat:

I like my farts, it's other people's I have a problem with.

PBR - mmmmmmm!

:blush:

Beer to go place north of Poteau, OK had PBR in the stubby little bottles for $4.00 a case when I was in college back in the early 70's. Great stuff - buy a case going back to Northeastern on Sunday afternoon, get all my library stuff done for the week, and let the good times roll!

Also - in the mid-70's there was a pace in Shepherd Mall called Napoleon's Charcoaler that had a little bar in the back. They served PBR draft in big frosted goblets and had great Reuben sandwiches. I would let my wife shop all afternoon and didn't give a rat's a$$ how much she spent!:)

And that's correct about the current crop of PBR just being a cheap contract beer now; not nearly the same. That's why I'm a Keystone guy now - trying to be smooth!

. But I'm telling you the best "cheap" beer hands down is Old Milwaukee. Not that Milwaukee's best crap, I'm talkin one of the originals here. I used to pick it up at the Reasor's near my house but they stopped selling it a month or so ago. Now I grab it from the package store.

These old beers taste like beer. The new buds, coors, etc. have no flavor at all. But I like flavor, that's why I'm a Guinness man. But only on tap. It's just not the same from a bottle or can. Not even close. But for dinner and drinkin around the house or lake, Old Milwaukee.

I was at a party once where we set up a blind taste test with about 20 different beers. The winner, by a big margin, and to the shock of all participants, was Old Milwaukee.
