I played trivia last night at a bar and we took 2nd place...which was a case of PBR Light.

Can't say I've ever had PBR Light....I've only drank PBR (my beer of choice obviously :0074 ) ....I guess I'll have to try this out.

Sales of Pabst peaked in 1977, when they reached 18 million barrels;<sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference">[4]</sup> by 2001,
the brand's sales were below a million barrels, 90% less than the peak. While
there is some disagreement about the origin of Pabst Blue Ribbon, it has been
proven by beer historians that it is an American and not a German beer.<sup id="cite_ref-nyt2003_5-0" class="reference">[5]</sup>
<sup></sup>
<sup></sup>
The beer experienced a sales revival in the early 2000s after a two
decade-long slump, largely due to its increasing popularity among urban
hipsters.<sup>[5][7]</sup>
14 years in the beer business..never in all my days of calling on accounts did I ever imagine PBR as a Yuppie swill..

wow

I wouldn't say hipsters are yuppies, but I understand where you are coming from in your disbelief at PBR's place in the social strata these days.

I started drinking it because that's what my dad drank when he was younger and it's still his drink of choice. My Grandpa has all the knick knack type stuff too like the retro signs and pictures in the basement.

Also, I genuinely like the taste. It's not the watered down light beer taste of others and has a full flavor.

I didn't do it for the coolness or image that it's associated with today among urban community and hipsters.

Man...I could go for one right now! :toast:
