PBR Actually Made a 1,776-Pack of Beer

[MacFromOK]

I keep an old bottle/can opener (pointy one end, round on the other) on our bar. I'm sure I've seen this in years past, but just noticed this evening it has "Pabst Blue Ribbon" stamped on it. And it's actually chromed, a small bit peeled off the pointy end a few days (weeks?) ago.

Yea that Olimpia stuff was bad. I don't know if it was as bad as miller ponies skunk swill.

BTW, millennial hipsters drink PBR. Rednecks drink Blue Ribbon.

Nah, one of my RV buddies in his early 60's who travels full time drinks PBR exclusively. Says he never has anyone from our group come by his rig asking for a beer when they run out.
They get in the truck and go to town.

I believe it's long out of business but I used to like Schlitz. No one I knew felt the same.

This is the only Schiltz around my house.

Grew up on Coors, actually enjoy Bush now. Drank a lot of other stuff inbetween, back to basics. Ha Ha

No pickup was fully equipped without a church key in the glove box.

Does anyone else remember the ‘cheapo’ Brown Derby beer they used to sell at Safeway?

Drank it. Bunches of it. Tuborg Gold was also a staple, also purchased at the Safeway on the corner of 81 & Beech in my home town. Strohs was in the rotation as well along with Lowenbrau, Little Kings, Schlitz, Hi-Life., Old Milwaukee, Lone Star (which we thought we were smuggling into OK, cause we were 16 and stupid). Drank a s'ton of Pearl bottles with the riddles in the cap too. When things were really tight, the generic BEER was also purchased. If it was cheap, we drank it.

I was much older when I settled down on just a couple of brands. Hell, I used to occasionally drink Budweiser. I'd rather take an ass kicking now than have to drink a Bud. At one time, I was making bi-weekly trips to TX to bring home a couple cases of Fat Tire & Coors Banquet. I loved that stuff. I had a flatter belly at the time.

The list could go on and on and on, but now it's down to Miller Lite & Ultra. I'll drink a local craft brew from time to time, but domestic, light & cold is how I prefer it now. A really ice cold domestic light on a scorching hot day is tough to beat. Man, we loved our cheap beer.

Out in the field we drank whatever showed up in VN and were damn proud to have it........pre-alum cans so they were all rusty and 90% of the time we drank it hot but we considered PBR nectar of the Gods compared to what usually showed up which was Blatz and Falstaff.View attachment 225472View attachment 225473View attachment 225474

Never had a Blatz. Drank some Falstaff though. As I recall it was delicious, but I was probably underage.

And this reminds me of the true old saying used at the beer bust parties with iced tubs filled with various brands of cans of beer to choose from. As the evening was winding down, you usually had only a few choices of brands left. And then it usually got down to "When you are out of Schlitz, you are usually out of beer." True many times. Ha Ha But, it is kinda like "any port in a storm," right?

Colt .45 malt liquor "works every time" in the little squatty half cans was popular back then also. I think it is still around in bottles.
