What faggot told you it was?

>>13595163
Isn't that like the most famous beer in America, next to Corona which is okay and Coors light, which I also got, I'm gonna drink it later.

>>13595168
It’s just a cheap, light beer that people think tastes a bit better than most other light beers like miller lite, coors, budweiser, etc. and Corona is a Mexican beer. I would hardly call it “famous.” I don’t even know many people who drink it besides baby boomer women

>>13595155
PBR isn't supposed to be "good". Just cheap, familiar and enjoyable enough.

>>13595155

check the dubs and drink this instead
can't beat the price

>>13595187
>boomer women
>drinking Pabst Blue Ribbon
Have sex or go outside, Jesus. The people who still drink Pabst are washed-out former hipster millennials that started when it was still uncool to drink, art hoes who are trying to recreate that vibe, the rednecks that made it uncool to drink in the first place, and literal 75+ year-old grandpas who liked it when it was the biggest beer in the country back when.

>>13595168
You mixed up the words “famous” and “notorious.”
Joking aside, PBR is mainly known as swill for blue collar workers, hipsters and people who like to get drunk for cheap. The working class have mostly switched to Bud Light and the hipsters have mostly moved on to milkshake-flavored craft beers. That just leaves the poor and alcoholics, both of whom aren’t known for being particular about taste when it comes to beer.

>>13595187
you nailed it. if you like it you like it, its like growing up on sliced whitebread, its not good but you grew up on it

Raw lamb.
I like it.

>>13595187
PBR is a hipster drink from a few years ago, not a boomer drink.

>>13595168
PBR sucks but it's usually cheap as hell. Coors Light is equally bad in a different way, it tastes like metallic pond water and is even lower abv.

>>13595155
I'll drink the rest for you

>>13595306
PBR was always cheap trash beer. Hipster fuckwits picked it up to drink it ironically. I would say that it's the Foster's of America, but Bud Light already has that title.

>>13595155
The reason this beer went from what your alcoholic uncle drinks to hipster icon is because TMZ photographed Ashton Kutcher drinking one in a dive bar years ago. That's literally the reason.

>>13595155
Describe the taste compared to German beers please. I imagine it to taste like a non bitter boomer Pils or Helles.

>>13595379
But people in America love drinking Bud Light, while Australians deny that they ever drink Foster's

>>13595487
It's more of a white trailer trash beer here in the south. It's definitely the most prevalent can you see littering the roads and woods.

>>13595155
Duh, there’s a reason the redneck trailer trash stereotype is always associated with it
I prefer importing beer from your country to be honest

>>13595155
You bought the American equivalent to 5.0 and that probably at trice the price.

>>13595155
So whats your beer of choice then?

germanfag asking

>>13595155
It's nothing like wiehenstephaner but it's good for the price

>>13595155
>falling for the meme drink
Cringe

>>13595379
PBR was always a redneck beer when I was growing up. Weird to see the hipsters latch onto it.

>>13595155
Theres a certain stride you have to catch with a cheap american beer and you have to drink those motherfuckers cold.

>>13595679
we drink pbr because our dads drank pbr

The best beer for your buck is Miller High life. No question.

>>13595168
>Isn't that like the most famous beer in America
I have no source for this image, it was just some random one I found. But based on my experience it seems roughly accurate when you go to bars, restaurants, sports stadiums, concerts or any events. Stuff like budweiser, coors, miller, etc are always the most popular, and the "light" versions are usually just as popular if not more. Pabst is definitely popular but not on the same level of those. You go to pretty much any random shithole across the US and they are guaranteed to have bud and bud light. Budweiser is ubiquitous with beer in the US. So much so that you don't even really think about it. Anywhere you go you just look at the beers and of course bud is there on the list, it would seem strange if it wasn't.

>germany
>country with the best beer in the world
>gives american """""""""""""""""""""""""""""""beer"""""""""""""""""""""" a chance

Why bother?

>drinking for taste

>>13595888
Maybe trying something new?

>>13595155
Neither is German beer, so you should be used to it.

>>13595888
>>germany
>>country with the best beer in the world

>>13595155
I cannot believe that anybody told you Pabst was good in the first place.

>>13595155
Yes this is correct.
T. American

>>13595888
Debatable

>>13595901
Is that shaggy?

>>13596027
yup

>>13595866
I'm not from the US so I'm honestly asking: do Americans actually only drink light beer?

>>13595155
PBR is for white trash.

>>13595866
>>13596044
Also is there a difference between Bud and Bud Light etc? - Why are they making light versions of already light beers?

>>13596054
just slightly less calories. it's for the fatties who order a diet coke with their Big Smoke-tier order

>>13595612
You're a soiboy. Bud Light is the best selling beer in the country, regardless of your opinion it isn't some meme shit like Fosters.

>>13596054
>>13596044
Id say everyone drinks IPAs. Specifically, craft IPAs. College students and poor people drink PBR, Busch, Bud, etc., but anyone with some level of self respect drinks basically anything that doesnt start with a B or include the word "lite"

>>13596067
Ironically most people drinking light beer are fat fucks already.

>>13595866
for the price its better than most things on there. its of course not a heady beer but its a solid day drinking beer

>>13596044
Light beer is the go-to for blue collar workers and rednecks.
So, the majority of beer drinkers.
A lot more Americans are discovering non-meme craft beers.

>>13595866
a little surprised sam adams boston lager didnt make the top 20

>>13596044
Only rednecks, alcoholics, and niggers drink that pisswater. Anyone with a sense of taste will drink something with flavor, whether that's real lagers, stouts, ales, and otherwise.

>>13596054
>Also is there a difference between Bud and Bud Light etc? - Why are they making light versions of already light beers?
It's the exact same beer, but "light" versions are diluted with water to lower the caloric intake. Naturally, this cuts whatever shitty flavor those disgusting rice lagers had in the first place.

These shitty macrobeers are not representative of American brewing, they just have the most money poured into advertising and other shady corporate bullshit to stifle access and awareness of better brands.

>>13596086
Come back when you're 18.

>>13596023
>t. yuropoor LARPer
ftfy

>>13596044
There are so many micro-brews now in the US you don't have to drink that swill. It can be argued that Budweiser is one of the best beers ever created.

>>13596044
Light beer is for getting drunk off of beer without feeling like you ate a loaf of bread. It's the best selling because it comes in huge packs, is sold everywhere cheap, and is super accessible for people at parties and sporting events. No one wants to sit in the summer sun at a baseball game drinking a heavy beverage. No one wants to waste good beer on shotguns and beer pong and kegs.

>>13596179
>without feeling like you ate a loaf of bread
But you have to drink even more of an already low% beer to get sufficiently drunk. Idk about you but a gallon of liquid is just as unpleasant as a loaf of bread in my stomach

>>13596044
I don't know where you're from, nor do I care, but I'm willing to bet cold hard American cash that the top selling beer in your country is a mass-produced pale lager.

>>13596189
Best beer to get drunk when you don't want to drink much is Carlsberg Elephant. 7,5% and a kinda thin taste. Beers with a similar abv like Bock have a much stronger taste and a more bready feel to it. The dark Elephant extra strong is undrinkable in large amounts.

>>13595155
I like the stuff

>>13595485
No texture, artificially bitter, can taste the alcohol in it. It's like they made it in a lab. Tastes better than Coors though.

>>13595634
Welde for casual drinking, Becks gold is okay, Staropramen when I find it.

>>13596189
Yeah but think of it like this: if I drink 6 300+ calorie IPAs with 8% ABV within 2 hours I'll be flat on my face but I'll be forcing the end of it down because no matter how much I've pissed my body is just full of calories and my palate is saturated. Whereas if I get the same effect on 8 160 calorie PBRs at 5%, I can crush those in an hour, pee twice and feel able to drink the rest of the case while still being sloshed. The crisp taste and feeling of refreshment from such a mild drink don't slow you down and at fewer calories per can you only fight the liquid which you'll be expelling at such a rate as to make it a nonfactor.

>>13596326
Have you considered that you don't have to drink the entire six pack at once?

>>13596310
>Becks gold is okay
No it's not. It's the aquivalent of lite beer in Germany and only drunken by teenage girls.

I could have sworn it was 6% alc so I was buying it for a while, but then I looked again and it was 4.2. Back to high life I guess

>>13596413
I wish I knew what teenage girls drank desu

>>13596386
Drinking a dozen at a time is the only purpose for light macro beers. It's a way better way to party than shooting vodka or something stupid

>>13596461
All girls i knew when i was younger drank Becks or Becks Gold when they didn't like sparkling wine. Mixed beer like Alster only had half the abv and weren't that popular even they prefered the much sweeter and fruitier taste of those.

>>13595207
Based Hamms drinker

>>13596386
Have you considered not being a faggot

>>13596112
it has too much malt to pound. i love em though

damn, imagine losing two world wars in a row...

>>13596874
No not really at least not since I had the impossible whopper

>>13596044

And only now have Americans started drinking something other than light beer

>>13597165
>they cater to women’s pallets

>>13595155
when i was in high school, a case of this was like $3. this is what we drank in high school because it was cheap.

>>13597201
It's still one of the cheaper ones. Though hamms and milwaukees best are even less.

>>13597165
>>they cater to women’s pallets

>tfw you find a /pol/ poster out of his element

The element being...coherent spelling.

Fuck off, faggot retard.

>>13595155
I thought the American beer tasting like water thing was a joke. But seriously, water.

I'll just keep to pic related

>>13598346
The point is to taste like water so it's easy to drink a 24 rack of it in one go.

>>13595155
it's generic macrobrew pisswater for college kids
>>13598346
mass produced stuff yeah it's watery

It's cheap here

>>13596126
>alcoholics
shouldn't they be smart enough to get 40s or cheap vodka

>>13595155
Drink Blatz Beer.

saw this in stacks at whole foods. figured it was a somehow overlooked beer with a simple but satisfying flavor. wow. who let some retarded millenial feature this? its objectively bad to anyone with 2 brain cells and 2 taste buds. this may mean the end of civilization if this shitwater is enjoyed by anyone.

>>13595168
Nah I would say Budweiser is the most famous beer. PBR is well known because of how cheap it is. 5 bucks for a 6 pack of pounders.

There is nothing wrong with them.

>>13596310
>Becks gold is okay, Staropramen when I find it.

don‘t ever post anything again. Your opininion is non-relevant by default

>>13595155
PBR is pleb filter.
Normies drink Bud, Busch, Coors and Millers which are basically just water

>>13596044
Its usually either Cheap Beer or Craft beer, and no Craft beer is big enough to make the list

>>13595866
Excuse me but that list is false
Pabst Blue Ribbon should be number 1

>>13595155
i laughed out loud at the thought of someone thinking pbr might taste good

>>13595155
>Be American
>agree
They're popular, because they would set up booths in rednecky activities like monster truck rallies, and psychobilly concerts.

>>13597198

>>13595634
Local beer just like you guys. We have several thousand breweries at the local, regional and national scale to choose from

>>13601364
who told you that?

>>13595620
>weihenstephaner
mein nigga

>>13601726
No, they're popular because in the 1890s they began putting blue ribbons on their bottles which became a point of interest, so people started asking bartenders for the blue ribbon beer, creating a big demand.

>>13602752
No. Don't ever post on /ck/ again, retard.

>>13595207
I thought this for the longesy time but my distributor just got a beer called lucky Streak that's 50 cents cheaper. I enjoy both

>>13595155
Only soy-consuming hipster faggots like PBR

>>13596054
In America there's an alcoholism culture in the trades. You're average tradesmen from the 80s would kill a 30 rack in a day. When they hit their 40s they realized it was making them fat so they switched to lighter beers

t. Whole family is working class guys who grew up in the 70s and 80s

>>13603843
If you're blaming beer for being fat, you're just shifting blame off over-consooming shitty foods.

>>13603849
Wierd how when they switched they lost the weight and are not fat. My dad for example is 6'2 200 pounds, 32-34 pants size in his 50s

>>13603828
The cheapest "beer" in the states is Natty Light.

A-B already had Busch for people who were too cheap for Bud, and Natty is a step below Busch.

>>13596044
If you're Aussie, seppo 'light' beer isn't the same as ours to my understanding. As in its not low alcohol beer for designated drivers.

I think its what they call a larger.

>>13603866
>my anecdotal evidence which I never even observed myself is proof beer makes you fat
>also, I never mentioned the food my daddy ate during all of this time
>6'2 200lbs
Your daddy's still fat and move out of your daddy's basement.

>>13603843
>30 beers a day
Lmao and you believed them

>>13603837
Interesting, next time I do my weekly visit to the cemetery I'll be sure and tell that to my decorated world war ii veteran grandpa that sacrificed his shin so you could have the freedom to sit on your ass whining like a girl about beer. He'll be glad to know he was a soy consuming hipster faggot when he was in northern france stabbing enemy soldiers in the neck despite having shrapnel wounds across the left side of his cheekbone and upper dorsal making it so he never went a day for the rest of his life without chronic pain.

>>13603907
Seen em they still do it.
>>13603891
Don't live with him. And don't have to. Number one never said he had a good diet, number 2 his diet hasn't changed.
Number 3 I included pants size for a reason retard. He was a mechanic that ran his own shop his whole life. He's ripped. 32 waist at 6'2 is perfectly healthy. What are your stats fag?
Lastly what makes you think I didn't know my dad in his 40s when this change happened? I was 20 back then.

>>13603891
Calories in Miller lite 96
Calories in mgd 143
Difference of 47 calories
Times 30 beers =1410

Totally not enough calorie change to lose weight

What's it like denying science everywhere you go?

drinking lite beer is fun because you can go all day and into the night and just have a pleasant bloated buzzed feeling.

>>13603982
>bloated
>pleasant
Do you have the brain damage, son?

>>13603907
if it's this stuff >>13603881 then it's possible to drink 30 spaced out throughout the day, it's like 3% alc and most people don't even finish the backwash in the bottom of the can.

Beer is literally soy water.

Speaking of which, this is Jewish beer

I've never had it because the only time I've been to Israel I was too young to drink.
