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