Since 2001, contract-brewed for Pabst Brewing (San Antonio), as Pabst no longer owns a brewery of its own.

Established in Milwaukee in 1844, this is the original Pabst Blue Ribbon beer. Nature’s choicest products provide its prized flavor. Only the finest of hops and grains are used. Selected as America’s Best in 1893.

Tap. Nice light biscuit aroma. Pretty pale golden. Flavors of biscuits and butter with faint taste of hops. And I don’t feel dirty after I drink one like I do when I drink a Budweiser.

Smells like piss. Looks like piss. Tastes ehh, what you think piss would taste like yet its surprisingly refreshing for shitty commercialized beer. Who knows. Its worth the 1.50 it costs at the bar.

This is actually a great beer if you get a good batch of it. If you don’t you’re in for a skunky session and a serious appointment with your toilet the next day. Sometimes its just not worth it but for some reason I just keep coming back. For consistency reasons I have to rate this beer low but the good batches get a 12.

It’s an industrial lager than was begging me to be rated as an American classic.

nice yellow/gold hay color, off-white head, thick, but fades. Bubbly-looking. Aroma is clean, cold, grass-sap hops and a hint of light corn/grain on a dewy morning (this is that classic beer smell that we all remember from when we were kids before good beer existed in America, maybe even slightly more robust than is typical). Flavor is light, light, light! Metallic cold carbonation pricks up front (copper/iron), then water, finish is light wheat and grass. No malt sweetness, just dry blah. Can’t give it less than a 2 because it’s still drinkable (I’m recalling all of the infected beers I’ve had)

Wow that’s horrible. Smells like piss, looks like piss. Strange coincidence. Taste of old watered down barley. Skip this if at all possible or you’ll be saying "I’m white trash and I’m in trouble!"
