Day #32- Pabst Blue Ribbon

I know this one will be controversial- no matter the outcome.

PBR has a cult-like following. Members of this cult believe that the beer they are drinking is actually "really good". This is simply not true.

PBR's pour has a healthier looking body than Miller, its smell is not so metallic (it is subtly metallic in fragrance), and the taste is, well... simple, cheap, and almost likeable.

It's crisp introduction is teasingly sweet, almost quality, and then quickly downgrades, almost, to it's all too similar cousin Bud Light.

I have tried, and I have partaken in many PBRs and had many a good time, but as a single beer, without the hype, PBR is just another cheaply made beer that won't cut it next to many in its own price range. Nice try.

Brett's ratings are out of 100.

*Please understand that ratings on this scale have been influenced by my scholastic history of grading. A grade below 75 is not good, it is less than average. A beer below 60 is bad. Beers in the 90s are in the upper-echelon of beers on this earth, and above 95- divinely inspired.*

As with all connoisseurs, personal taste affects all ratings. The best ratings tend to lean towards his two different biases; 1) Well-crafted heavy Stouts and 2) Lagers made with a simple perfection.

Please understand that just because Brett gives a beer a high rating doesn't mean you may think it is good. Only understand that if he gives it a high rating it is because most people who have a good taste in beer would do the same.
