Portland Brewpubs

That's great!

....slutty nuns in the Appalachian mountains...?

There's also places in Milwaukee where one might get cheerfully tossed outside to the pavement for ordering a "Bud Light".

one that comes to mind: https://savingplaces.org/stories/historic-bars-holler-house-milwaukee#.Wa1umGeWyM8

Interesting;

The local Geezer Club breaks down something like this

"..Obviously, you're not a golfer"

To breweries within 5 blocks of my house. Each has over 20 beers on tap at a time. Hell, one of them is a building I tried to buy for an office years ago. Plus we have a couple of cider houses, at least one distillery, a sake brewery not to mention the untold number of wineries.
Life is to short to drink cheap beer or anything else.

Don't I count for a pbr?

Marko,

You don't show up often enough to be counted as a FULL Member (although more often than some).

Besides which, I didn't want to slander you (or you taste in beer)

:innocent:

PBR was just fine in 1980 and it is just fine now. I know it is not the same PBR as I drank in 1980, and I am okay with that. I am not embarrassed by actually liking PBR. I would probably still be wearing Stan Smith Adidas and wearing bell bottomed Levi cords if I could get them.

I don't buy much coffee at Starbucks and I don't warrant $10 beers. In fact, I will go out on a limb and admit that I just don't like the flavored beers. And, as you can tell from my waist size, I have only drank two lite beers in my life, I did not like them.

That said, I am looking forward to having a few in Berlin later this month and I will probably not be drinking PBR. 🙂 I will post a full report on the beer situation at InterGEO in a few weeks.

I like PBR, it's not a bad brew at all.

Growing up in Milwaukee my wife has a tendency to like Miller products. I like Miller also, but sometimes a Pabst tastes good too. I just have to sit and listen to her tell me how much she doesn't like it..while I'm the one drinking it. Go figure....;)

PBR was definitely a lot better in the late '70's but then so was everything else, beer-wise. You didn't have all the local craft brew options back then, but locally produced beers like Pabst, Schlitz, and Stroh's were all decent. Between everyone being bought out by larger companies, packaging and preservation laws changing, and mass production, just about everything has gone downhill.

I still like Bud and Yuengling when I want bang for my buck, and the possibilities are endless if you don't mind spending $10 on a six pack. Sam Adams makes some great brews, and has an aggressive program in place to ensure that their products don't stay on the shelves past their expiration dates. I always check the date on a craft beer, especially if the sales price seems too good to be true.

We have brew pubs here in Houma and in Thibodaux that make some very good beers, and the Mudbug's (Thibodaux) products are available in stores. But if you go to the pub they have brews on draft that are limited quantity and are only available there.

Nola Brewing - http://www.nolabrewing.com/ - makes some good stuff; Hopitoulas is a very good IPA. We found it on draft the last time we were in the Quarter and that was a treat. Dixie Brewing Company - https://dixiebeer.com/ - was recently purchased by the Benson family and claims to be brewing Dixie beer based on the original 1907 recipe; I haven't had a chance to try one yet.

Good video. Made me laugh.
When I was in HS we would drive into Milwaukee for brewery tours (Drinking age was the same as conscription age). Pabst tour was not so good they would show you pictures of how beer was made and give you one glass at the hospitality room. Miller actually had windows that you could see the production line, but still only gave you one beer. Schlitz let you walk through the production line, sometimes in foam up to your knees, and it was all you could drink at their hospitality room. Its been decades since I had a Schlitz.

have to stick to the "alkoholfreies Bier" but even those are good over there...

Speaking of PBR (warning - colorful metaphors ahead):

According to my reading, in the 40's and 50's, PBR and Carlson Black Label were the preferred brews for Army enlisted pukes. Probably because they were relatively cheap to buy.

I believe that it was "CARLING Black Label."

Loyal

LOL it was Carling Black Label. Subliminal software insertion.

I too was an "enlisted puke" in the '80's... I drank Bud in the barracks, Michelob in the E-club, and the flavor of choice in whatever country I found myself in... San Miguel in the Philippines, mostly Sapporo and Asahi on the town in Japan, Sing Ha in Thailand, Swan in Australia, Tsingtao in Hong Kong, etc. There were a few others... Carlsberg was pretty popular in Thailand and Hong Kong. Can't remember the other label that was big in Australia but it was most definitely NOT Foster's, which the locals assured me was Australian for kangaroo p***.

I had an uncle that worked at Pabst in Newark NJ when I was a kid.
He used to think it was funny to tell me that at lunch, they would just scoop as much beer up as they wanted to drink and that they basically were wading through beer the entire day. He thought it was funny, my mother not so much.

He was a big guys so I wouldn't doubt he could work and drink at the same time based on the amount they drank socially.
No matter how much beer he drank I don't ever remember him being drunk - maybe a little happier but not drunk.

The bottle below was right off the parkway for many years - not sure when it came down.
