This is a repost of a thread I started at another site last night but it sparked an interesting conversation so I thought I'd post it here as well.
As I sit here drinking yet another Pabst Blue Ribbon Beer I am left pondering the order of the crappy beer universe. You know the type of beer I'm talking about. Usually it is a domestic from a giant multinational corporation who has figured out they can save pennies if they just keep reusing the same nasty malt and hops over and over with each new batch. These are the types of beers that sell for less the $10 per 18 pack tax included.
I have come to the conclusion that Pabst is the king of ****ty beers and that none of the Bud-Coors-Millers of the world even come close. Here's their secret... Taste. The beer has a nice malty-hoppy flavor. Surprisingly so given the price range we're dealing with. True, Pabst must be drinken ice cold because as the beer warms it seems to bond with ambient urine molecules in the atmosphere but when served cold this beer actually has a pleasant taste, costs next to nothing, and never seems to actually fill you up. That last trait makes it perfect for after dinner swilling.
Who's had Pabst? If you disagree that Pabst isn't the king of ****ty beers then please say which one beats it and why.
