i get that alot. after working at the brewery a while, i got use to the aroma of the PBR. too watery for my taste. i hear you can get a twelve pack for $3.00. i haven't priced it in years. we use to bottle lucky lager too. the one with the riddle under the bottle cap. yeah, only the best.

No man, THAT's what's most ridiculous... I swear PBR's prices have jacked upward in recent years. Like $14.99 a 12-pack in the Portland Metro now

Seriously, that's more than $1 per can o'piss, PLUS OR Refund Value

BOTTLES of local microbrews go on sale for $6.99 a sixer at Freddy's all the time!

I live outside Saint John, NB so I grew up on Alpine and Moosehead.
When I lived in Calgary I drank Extra Old Stock...Man that Extra Rotten Crotch was rough...lol Had to chase it with Tequila to choke it down...

wow! i didn't realise it was so much. ha ha ha that's awesome!

we use to brew it up in tumwater washington. take I5 north and when you get to olympia/tumwater you can see the old building. they use to have tours and stuff. PBR is now brewed in places around the country.

The price increase must be because of the massive influx of hipsters drinking PBR for no good reason causing a disruption in the supply/demand equation in Portland.

From Wikipedia:
The beer experienced a sales revival in the early 2000s after a two decade-long slump, largely due to its increasing popularity among hipsters in cities such as New York City (Brooklyn); Omaha, Nebraska; Columbus, Ohio; Chicago, Illinois; Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; Ann Arbor, Michigan; Portland, Oregon; and Richmond, Virginia.[6][8] Although the Pabst website features user-submitted photography, much of which features twenty-something Pabst drinkers dressed in alternative fashions,[9] the company has opted not to fully embrace the countercultural label in its marketing, fearing that it could jeopardize the very "authenticity" that made the brand popular[6][10][11] as was the case with the poorly received OK Soda. Pabst instead targets its desired market as an authentic American beer through product placement in films such as Blue Velvet [12] and Gran Torino,[13] as well as targeting its niche through the sponsorship of indie music concerts, local businesses, post-collegiate sports teams,[14] dive bars and radio programming like National Public Radio's All Things Considered.[8][15]

Need a trend to latch onto? Try Hipster!
I really wish all these assholes would ride their fixed gear bikes into a fucking bus already and end this tragedy of American youth culture.


This is the type of stupid shit I'm talking about.

i heard this term before but i don't really know what it means. when i ask people about it, they just point to someone and says there, that's a hipster.

i don't think i would ever get a PBR tattoo. pabst was a great company to work for. good pay and good benefits, but still there is no way i would ink myself.

i think i fit into the middle aged, get the fuck off my lawn, trend. ha ha ha ha

You've got a point, however I assure you SUPPLY is a non-issue. Every freakin' bar and pub in this city has got PBR on tap - UNLESS, it's a true hipster bar... then the PBR flows from tall boys!

Daddy's money can buy anything "Beervana" has to offer, but the trust-funded hipster chooses the cheap conformists' beer in an effort to assert their independent spirit - Oh, the irony.

Goose Island 312
Urban Wheat Ale

Blackhorse if I'm home on the island (Newfoundland). Keith's if I'm on the mainland, except when I'm in Ontario - in Ontario I drink Lakeport.

If I'm in the mood for a fancy Euro beer, it Grolsch flip caps all the way. The bottles are a great novelty, but it's also an amazing tasting beer.. just really expensive. Getting in touch with my Irish roots calls for Guinness, naturally. Another expensive but extremely delicious beer.

I don't know a whole lot about American beers. I've drank Bud at parties where thats all they had, same goes for Coors Light. That's a singularly disgusting beverage.

I once drank a 40 of Colt 45 just to feel gangsta. All it made me feel was sick. Too sweet, I could swear they added corn syrup to it.
