Quoted: This was some cheap beer from the 80s. https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/24999/5e3c232ca52e4_jpg-1987501.JPG View Quote That's what I thought that the OP was looking for. In the early 1980's it was $3.99 for a 24 can case. Then the governor of PA started adding 'sin taxes' to alcohol. |

Quoted: 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.

Quoted: Schlitz? That was a staple beer around my family gatherings in the 80's. Probably the first beer I ever tasted as a kid. https://images.freshop.com/00052300000143/986794b3466ec1c2c493062929a6e6a3_large.png View Quote Six Schlitz-es Open Bar Super Troopers |

When I was in high school we drank Milwaukee's Best by the case. Not by choice, mind you, it was awful. "the beast!"

Sometimes we iced them down, sometimes we didn't want to waste a buck on ice. |

Quoted: Not to be confused with: https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/353001/schmidt_s_jpg-1987515.JPG View Quote Schmidt's of Philadelphia was my dad's beer of choice. ETA: A number of years ago, I was in contact via email with a guy that was attempting to bring the brand back. I'm not sure why, looking back it wasn't really all that good. |

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.

PBR is available at damn near every place that sells alcohol.
It's cheap and tastes like shit. I don't personally know anybody who drinks it but somebody must be buying it. |
|
View Quote It's premium. Says so right there on the can. |
|
My Dad's beer of choice was Falls City or Sterling.
Guess where I was raised? |
|
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.

Bar in a town I used to live in had Blatz on tap as their cheap pitcher get drunk beer.

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.

Quoted: Pabst Blue Ribbon? That's actually made a comeback amongst the hipsters. View Quote Yeah, I know plenty of hipsterish folks in their 20's and 30's into the whole PBR revival thing. I even know some peers of mine (50+) into it. I've tried it and think it tastes like piss...With all the great beers and microbrews out there I don't get why people turn to that stuff |
|
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. |

Quoted: This seemed to be the cheapest of the cheap, go-to beers for the trailer park crowd (and believe me, WV knows trailer parks): https://canmuseum.com/Staging/Images/Cans/67334L.jpg View Quote I work with a guy that drinks those, and only those. I thought this thread was going to be about : |

I drank a 12 pack of Busch Light over the weekend so I'm hardly a sophisticate when it comes to beer.

Before I read the description I thought it was gonna be Special Export.
PBR tall boys were big in Minneapolis. Hamm’s and Schmidt were staples of northeast Minneapolis. |

Schaeffer. So nasty that when we got a hold of a case in college, we couldn't drink it. We took it out and shot it with a .44 Desert Eagle.
