Quote HistoryQuoted: I'd bring a 30 pack to parties. People for the most part wouldn't touch it even when the all of the other beer was gone and those foolish enough to grab one would take less than a sip and leave it for me to find nearby later. i.e. I never ran out of beer at the party.  PBR is very much alive and well in my area. As is Coors Banquet. Lesser degree you'll see Schlitz and Hamm's, but they aren't prevalent nor drank much.

The 80's? You'd wear out ten pairs of shoes looking for a beer snob back then. They grilled meat well done after a day of actual work and they drank Pabst, Miller, and Budweiser which you can still get today.

Falstaff and PBR were considered good beers back in the 70s and 80s as well as Stag, Hamm's, Old Style,, Old Milwaukee, and Schlitz.

Does Walgreens still market their own beer? I bought a sixer when it came out because at $2.99 I wasn't not going to try it. It was pretty much what I expected and 5 cans sat in my fridge for the better part of a year before I tossed them.

I'm the farthest thing from a beer snob. I like a good cheap American lager. Had my first PBR at 17 in AIT in GA. While it's cheap and tastes like ass. it's better than Buckhorn. Here's another cheap bad one from my youth  |

I have PBR in my fridge right now.
PBR is actually one of the better beers at the low price point. Years ago my buddies and I would do blind taste tests with beer- mostly because it was fun. PBR would consistently fall near the top. PBR has a more hoppy flavor than Bud, Coors, etc. |
