[QUOTE=TestECull;46024022]Nothing hipster about it. It's the sort of thing rednecks drink when they want to pretend they're higher class rednecks.[/QUOTE]
I never see rednecks drink it.
it's always stuff like busch, miller, and keystone
[QUOTE]...it represents individualism, egalitarianism and freedom of expression[/QUOTE]
These don't strike me as being Russian qualities...
Certified hipster here. PBR is always seen as the "hipster" main brand beer when the only major brand beer that I would consider hipster is Pacifico. All the rest are non-gmo, vegan, micro brews that only exist in like a 5 mile radius of the brewery.
Oh, wow. This is funny cause there's this girl on FB who's obsessed about the USA (and spammed FB about it everyday) and has been years posting about it and she finally moved there like 2-3 days ago from here, Uruguay. Today she posted some selfie or something with her drinking a can of this very same beer brand that just got sold to the Russians, USA's eternal arch-enemy. Too late for american dream?

the american dream doesn't exist anymore.
[QUOTE=Megakill;46025239]i consider samuel adams and yuengling that 'middle ground' beer, typically my go to brands. if I'm on a budget, i buy rolling rock. fuck pabst. it tastes like cow piss.[/QUOTE]
You actually buy Rolling Rock over PBR? It might taste like cow piss but at least it has a taste, Rolling Rock is practically just water.
It was always just the cheap-shit-we-ended-up-with in the 90's.
I honestly couldn't tell the difference then, cause shitty beer is shitty beer when all you have is a sweat soaked dollar and a broken button in your pocket.
They were part of the neo cold-war before it was cool.

Bud light isnt the only beer produced here you know?
Why the PBR hate? It's dirt cheap beer for the punk/hipster/college kid on a budget.

Because it tastes like garbage. It's also way easier to make shit vodka better than shit beer.
Woah, Pabst Blue Ribbon is also brewed by the same company that makes Colt 45? (tried it, Lando Calrissian you fucking lied to me) I also was not aware Schlitz was even around anymore, I thought it went away some time in the 80's never to be seen again.[QUOTE=n0cturni;46024690]So the vibe I'm getting here is that pabst is basically the white lightning of american beers. Is this incorrect?[/QUOTE]Unless you're referring to something else, "white lightning" is moonshine, which if done by reclusive Appalachian types it is either amazing tasting and will also fuck you up or it's pure goddamn ethanol and will fuck you up and probably blind you and cripple you if you survive.
Pabst Blue Ribbon is horse piss drank by hipster cunts in flannel bootyshorts and I hope the Russians cut in some type of radioactive substance that will render all of them sterile forever. There simply cannot be any chance for hipsters to breed and taint the next generation with their silly shit, and the day I see a baby dressed as a hipster is probably going to be the day I hang myself.[QUOTE=Rofl my Waff;46027200]Why the PBR hate? It's dirt cheap beer for the punk/hipster/college kid on a budget.[/QUOTE]It's terrible and fuck hipsters holy shit I hate hipsters so goddamn much.
[QUOTE=Explosions;46023760]Why is PBR considered a hipster beer? It's always seemed like more of a hick beer to me.[/QUOTE]
Plaid shirts used to be a hick thing too
[QUOTE=SPESSMEHREN;46024942]All the hipsters in Massachusetts switched to Yuengling when it first came here because no one had ever heard of it.
Kind of reminds me how most bourbon distilleries, the most American of spirits, are owned by foerign multinational companies. Diageo, a British company, and Japanese company Suntory own the most popular and best-selling bourbons on the market. :v:[/QUOTE]
Knob Creek is one of those brands, and it still tastes the same. Honestly, if I'm not gonna buy a craft bourbon, Knob Creek Single Barrel or Nine Years Aged is my go-to.

Let's deport all hipsters so rednecks and obsolete electronics enthusiasts can enjoy their stuff again.

thats a better taste than a long list of drinks including but not limited to
flat soda
office coffee

You're drinking the wrong liqour.

White Lighting is (or was, they stopped making it) strong and dirt cheap. Tasted fucking horrible but it got the job done lol
Used to get all the high school kids drinking it.

It tastes like cheap beer.
$1.97 for a 24oz where I live. You get what you pay for.
[QUOTE=pentium;46023806]Russia needs competition in the "cheap and shitty beer" market anyways.[/QUOTE]
Champions do not compete.

Who would've thought that thinning ethanol with water is easier than brewing a drink.
