Basically, they got a few people to start promoting it on the basis of being an un-majority beer. Hipsters, being sheep who have nothing in common but hating the majority, signed up for it. By doing so, they became the sheepest of the sheep, the consumer who buys a product to create an identity. That's like hoping to make yourself a social star by buying Dockers, an iPod and a Chevy Volt. There is no way to be a bigger tool. Hipsters, you have been pwnt. You should not vote or have political opinions. You should in fact be assigned manual labor tasks and no one should ever listen to you again, as you hipsters have proven you are incompetent.
I hope by "hipster", you don't seriously mean all of us. I would hate for you to have made such an embarrassing generalization. Interesting history, though. Personally, I only drink Yuengling... for no other reason than it's the only one I can stand. :ack2: <<< is not a big beer-drinker
Blue Moon is the only beer I purchase, when I actually find someone to buy it for me. However, I have heard lots of good things about Pabst regarding taste and price. I've never heard anything about it being anti-majority or obscure. Perhaps I will go try some.
yes, when playing beer pong to be honest its one of the better tasting cheap beers, guess im a sheep and blue moon is amazing, though very filling--its only downside
i'm sure when you say "good things about taste and price" you really mean "its cheap and after a few of them you can't taste how awful it is anymore"
This thread is stupid. Are you actually suggesting people boycott Pabst, or do you just choose which forum to post in randomly?
actually it won the gold medal in 2006 at the great american beer fest for best american style lager.Its almost all me & my wife drink.we'll pay more for busch if the store is sold out,but shit,I think it's damn good beer.& no I didn't start drinking it to be a "nonconformist",thats downright fuckin stupid.I started drinkin it cuz it's cheap & tastes good.granted when I visit family back east I'll treat myself to a yuengling,but I'll take a pbr over busch or bud any day.if you wanna boycott em cool,more for me
Ya a lot of people say it's the best beer that is cheap. I can't relate to drinking so much that I worry about $3-5 worth difference when quality drastically improves with the additional money. You sure about that? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pabst_Blue_Ribbon
Ya, it's pretty popular with the younger crowds now, like what I quoted from Wikipedia said. It's not really that popular down here in Texas though. We like our St Arnold's and Shiner :cheers2:.
haha..I like that."old mans beer".at 31 I hardly consider myself old,but I am an alcoholic.I drink from the time I get up til the time I go to bed every day,unless I'm doin a job for someone who objects.even then,I usually just keep it in a coffee cup lol.But really,my point is when you drink as much as I do,$3-5 adds up quick.Some of my drinkin buddies swear by beast ice,but it's to rough for me.oh,& to the dude that said alcohol is lame & boring,if I smoke weed,I eat & then sleep.not too exciting to me.Not to mention I'm on probation for a weed charge,really aint tryin to get busted again..that gets real expensive
Man that beer is like from the 30s it was the beer of my dads generation. if you can stomach this beer my hats off to you lol
God I hate hipsters. My neighborhood used to be home to a variety of working-class and/or lower-income people. Kinda shitty sometimes, but it was an okay neighborhood. Then the hipsters came. Trust fund kids, upper middle class "noncomformists", graphic designers who work for big companies but are still, ya know, totally not conforming to mainstream society...yeah, they came along and gentrified the living fuck out of my neighborhood. Now the working-class neighbors who were renting (maybe 400 to 600 bucks a month, not too bad for a truck driver) can no longer afford to do so (the house I grew up in is now rented out for 1,500 dollars a month). Also, property taxes are going up. So working-class and low-income people who own their homes now have that much more to deal with. Some can't afford it, especially the elderly, who are also forced out of their neighborhood. Yes, these hipsters who hate the mainstream and slap those disgustingly smug "Thank Me, I Voted For Obama!" bumper stickers on their motherfucking hybrids, who supposedly are oh so very liberal and totally in the corner of working-class folks and poor people, have thoroughly ousted an entire neighborhood because they think row houses are so totally awesome and "bohemian", or some shit. *Ahem* Sorry about the rant. That being said, PBR isn't bad, despite how much the hipsters love it.
