- I got called out on my original PBR Brew Review from someone claiming to be a Pabst family member, so I decided to do a revisit of Pabst Blue Ribbon in this revisit. CHEERS!
#pbrart #tommytarvonen #beerreviewrevisit
It’s a super unique beer. Not many beers are enjoyed by 26 year old hipsters and 73 year old men at the same time.
Excellent point! Not many things generations agree on. Thanks for your view, SUB and support - CHEERS!
@@CheapBrewReview IDK man yes it is my favorite beer bro But I drink whiskey JD Benchmark Fireball Jim beam fire ball is decent but Jack Daniels is best i drink benchmark its nice
Couldn’t agree more! In my family? You’ll see 20-30 year olds, enjoying a PBR, with their grandfathers. It’s special.
And hell, the word “hipster” did not exist, when we appreciated this classic!
The OG suitcases were cardboard. REAL cardboard.
Turned 26 a couple months ago, hipsters around the bars I frequent put me on to this beer and it’s very soothing. I like it.
I tried PBR for the first time this past summer. I was in dollar general looking for Busch light and PBR was on the shelf right at eye level I never had it or tried it so I got a 12pack and I do have to say I thought it was a great change of pace. Since then I've bought it regularly, turned my co-workers onto it and yes I am a grandfather and I think it's wonderful 👍
My grandpa only drinks PBRs. He will not drink anything else and has a ton of PBR merch. Good to see another grandpa enjoying good beer!
I just stopped drinking Budweiser so I'm officially a blue ribbon drinker
I'll drink to that! Thanks for your view, SUB and support. CHEERS!
It's great beer
From what I heard it was Blatz back in the day
.
Right on buddy it's better tasting than bud too
@@sweetdickwilly3444 everything is better tasting than bud, if it tastes like anything at all it tastes better than Bud on the sole fact it actually does taste like something 😂
Why did you stop drinking bud?
Perfect beer after a long day of labouring. Cheap and cheerful.
“You get that typical college bar beer smell to it … I smell some adjuncts in there” Underrated bit of wordplay there!
PBR is so smooth when ice cold, but it tastes like malt liquor if warm.
I would agree. Please check out a few more of my Brew Reviews while you have another cold one. Thanks for your view, sub and support - CHEERS!
Before hipsters proclaimed PBR for themselves in the mainstream, I was introduced to Pabst Blue Ribbon by the underground psychobilly/rockabilly greaser scene. Been drinking it ever since because it's just a good classic beer 🍺
So the exact same people but 5 years earlier lol
@Dylan Raskay not in my hood lol
I am a 47 year old grandfather. I love PBR and Coors Banquet. Most other beers give me a headache after about 3 cans.
With the better beers hitting $12/six pack it's refreshing to find a 30-pack of PBR for around $20. I agree with your rating, it's good enough to drink.
Where I live in Canada a six pack of PBR goes for about $ 18.00. Nothing cheap in Canada.
@@randycollins7910that’s weird. Considering Canada brews their own pbr
I genuinely like it. It doesn't taste as dirty as High Life or as boring as Budweiser. I haven't had a Banquet in awhile but I remember it being way too sweet to be refreshing. It's also cheaper than anything I just mentioned besides High Life. Oh yeah, and the cans are dope.
From Colorado, so banquets are nectar of the gods to me lol!! But you hit the nail on the head. PBR becoming the true #2. But it needs to be ice cold, but what beer isn’t best cold.
@Thomas O'Connor - Exactly! Any beer 🍺 that is warm tastes like crap!!! What beer 🍺 is good warm is beyond me!!! 🤣
Agreed! The cans are dope!
I think is great
Yeah the label is so cool it's worth drinking on that alone!!
You may need to try Coors again cause it's not near as sweet as High Life IMO
Im drinking PBR right now. I’m by myself right now, so no one to impress here. It’s good. I like it a lot. I’m 31 years old.
PBR has been my go to since I turned 21. I love a lot of the craft stuff but for just a casual beer for fishing, cook outs, or watching a race nothing can beat it
PBR is my go-to beer. I love it!
I drink PBR because I love the beer. It's by far the best of the cheap American lagers, and I can get 30-packs in northern New England for $17 bucks. 😁 Great review (even though I'd give it a 4.5 LOL).
I actually seek out PBR because I enjoy the flavor. I do agree with you on the fact point that it is much better served cold, but I prefer this beer for it's old school flavor.
What beer isn't better served cold? Who drinks warm beer? PBR is great.
PBR to me is like (and goes good with) a cheeseburger, it doesn't need to be fancy it just has to be made well, comforting, and easy to enjoy.
pbr and a cheesebruger sounds so fucking good right now! (im 5 pbr's in)
@@Avxt1n LOL 😆
Yes..classic clean taste, good enough to have with food. And not too strong, like say, an IPA
As a fairly young guy at 27 current I started drinking pbr when I was 22. Before that I was always an MGD or Molson canadian drinker. I switched because it was a cheap beer that had a good flavor. People always commented on it being a cheap beer or a hipster beer so I just rolled with it and became a big fan of the brand. I feel that alot of us Dedicated Pbr drinkers enjoy the " trailer trash" culture that is PBR.
Only 25 so not too far behind ya but I second this!! I'm the only person I know besides my homie who introduced this to me in highshool that drinks it regularly. But man it honestly beats any other "cheap beer" ive had and when I order it at bars and get that weird look I own that shit now. I got a pbr trucker and a pbr pint glass lmfao. at the end of the day im savin money
PBR is one I choose when I'm fishing or swimming in the river on a summer day. Easy to drink and I don't care if I spill one or get some mud on the can.
Gotta have a go-to brew! Thanks for your SUB and support - CHEERS!
Been drinking PBR off and on for 30 years. It is my go-to cheap beer. Readily available, cheap, and has more flavor than other cheap beers. Hits the spot when out fishing or doing yard work. Best when ice cold on a hot day.
I drink PBR 90% of the time and have done so for 40 years because I love it. I have tried all of them and I keep coming back to this one and the price is not an issue. I'd still buy it if it was twice the price.
Used to drink it in highschool with my buddy cuz it was cheap. Thought it was alright for the low price. Stopped drinking Budweiser for reasons lol and went to blue ribbon, taste even better than I remembered
The pbster is hands down in comparison my favorite cheap beer. My go to when the wallets tight. I am a beginner brewer looking to advance. there's nothing more than pbr that makes me hiccup like it. With that being said, this has helped me to understand aromas tastes and feels. i know the beer well and hearing your interp is only helping me understand taste and other measures
Take the tour of the Pabst mansion in Milwaukee, I think you will have a greater appreciation for the family that made the beer.
It's funny you said you used to live here. I'm sitting here in Athens, GA while drinking a PBR and procrastinating on my homework. What an interesting, small world we live in.
I first started drinking PBR because It was sold at all the music concerts and festivals I went to when I was in my 20s in my 30s I genuinely enjoy the taste. My grandpa has drank it since the 70s.
I like the taste as well. I drink all kinds of beers as well. It's as good as Heineken to me.
I'm 32, Canadian and I drink PBR. Gets the job done and I enjoy the flavor.
Where are you from in Canada? Thank you for your views, SUB and support - CHEERS!
For the cheaper end of domestix brews, PBR is a good, if even and underrated beer.
I like Pabst blue ribbon especially in a bottle It's one of my go to beers when I can't afford craft beer
It's a great beer for miami beach. It was 85° today..I had a supeBBQ.. cold PBR with a Delicious Salmon filet on the bbq..loveee PBR..and on the boat its even better....I also love PBR with a Pepperoni Pizza n hot sauce
That sounds AMAZING! I'll be right over lol. Thanks for watching and if you haven't SUBBED already please do. CHEERS!
Really enjoyed watching this. I drink PBR almost exclusively. One of my favorites, good price and good taste. To me it tastes like Bud was supposed to taste. Now I'm not saying it is the best, but it is good for it's style and price. Anyways I rarely drink out in bars anymore, like you said, people over 45! I don't drink to satisfy anyone but myself. Thank you for the down to Earth honest reviews!
Glad you enjoyed it! I appreciate you watching and commenting. Thanks for your SUB and support - CHEERS!
Just had a pint. First time ever. Man tatses really good for a cheap brew. I like it.
PBR was my first beer and it was my dad’s beer of choice. I don’t drink beer often anymore but when i crave a beer that is the flavor i am always looking for.
And yes it is best ice cold.
Nothing more refreshing than an ICE COLD PBR on a hot summer day of mowing acres.
PBR was the first beer that I drank. I like Lagers, Pilsners and a few craft beers. I mainly drink PBR now because I don't want to support any InBev products and as long as it is cold, it's a nice and cheap beer. I keep at least a 12 pack in the beer fridge at 37°F at all times.
Nice temp. I like it! Thanks for your view, sub and support - CHEERS!
I drink PBR along with Coors only when I’m home. It’s cheap enough. Crack one open after work, goes down easy, doesn’t break the bank. Can’t beat it.
Damn, 6 bucks for PBR?! I remember when Heineken was 6 bucks for a six-pack; how times have changed.
Damn, 6 bucks for PBR?! I remember when Heineken was 6 bucks for a six-pack; how times have changed.....
easy princess....
$6 for 6 T-boys ...which is 8 beers
I've always liked PBR, for various reasons.
Its better than Bud an Coors at fraction price. Nothing hip. Just sensible when you put a few back on a budget.
Its a good cheap beer but bro its cold your shaking lol! You are hilarious man! I enjoy your videos man! Cheers!
I enjoy PBR, I haven't had it in a few years, But I recently have thought about getting it again. Great review man, cheers!
PBR is much better than I remember. Good thing for the revisit! Thanks for your SUB and support - CHEERS!
I'm 29, and I actually do like it. I also like most cheap beers and also enjoy most craft beers, with an exception of most sours.
It's grown on me. Thanks for your SUB and support - CHEERS!
I'm a miller high life grandpa these days. I'm 28. Wonder what my beer will be in the grandpa years.
I was a dedicated Old Style drinker until one day when I was walking home from my lifeguard job. I was all sunburned and tired as hell, and a friend handed me an ice cold pbr. At the time , I thought it was the best beer I ever tasted. I went on to drink it exclusively through 4 years of college. Great cheap beer!
Pabst is awesome from the can and even better on tap. I was buying 30-packs for $19.98 in New Jersey until recently. Now it's $21.99. The stuff is great, especially when working in the yard on a hot day or shoveling snow in the winter (if we ever get snow again).
thank you for your service sir, its sad you don't have more subs. i just did
I'm 24 and I actually drink it because I actually like it and due to the recent Budweiser incident I was really looking for another beer to try. But yes I drink it because I like it. I'm not an avid drinker. I drink only occasionally or around the ball park of 2 times a month. But I do like the Beer Another I like Is Modelo but Pabst is priced pretty well and decent for me.
A few years back we stopped at a small diner about a block from Harvard campus. Opened the "drink menu" and there it was. A 16 oz. PBR for a $1.50. Cracked me up...I imagine about 80% of the students have parents who could buy the diner...let alone a much more expensive brewski.
I couldn't pass it up.............the beer that will soon make Harvard famous. 😀
PS--I'm an old dude....and remember back in the 50's PBR, Falstaff, Hamm's and Schlitz were all pretty popular beers at the local bowling alley....don't know about trailer parks...
Pabst Blue Ribbon is a Mighty Fine Beer! Cheers! 🤠🍻
Thanks for your views, sub and support - CHEERS!
@@CheapBrewReview No prob bud! 🤠
I’ve been a PBR fan for ever I just like it it’s just good and consistent
Im 28 when I first started drinking beer I was a Budweiser guy but my grandpa always drank pbr. After he died it became my go to. Ill drink craft beers sometimes but honestly l just like how pbr tastes after a hard days work. My 18 year old self would be shaking his head.
I like PBR because it's probably one of few beers that doesn't attack my sensitive stomach and I like the way it taste
my reasoning as well
Way back once upon a long ago I had a friend who got his first job stocking the cooler for a very popular convenience store. The owner told him he could enjoy a cold drink on shift which was heard as 'take some beer home with you' so over that summer we drank a lot of beer and tried pretty much everything even a couple non-alcoholic options. We liked PBR because when we didn't have the free beer it was usually cheap and chug-able. Even today its a good feeling when someone hands you a PBR but I haven't bought any myself in a long while.
Hard to beat free beer!
Thanks for watching and commenting and if you haven't SUBBED yet, please do. Check out more of my 140+ Brew Reviews and let me know what you think. CHEERS!
I like it. Better flavor than a budweiser or coors in my opinion, And at a better price.
For me, it's going to be a lot of nostalgia. It tastes like the beer my uncle let me have a sip of when I was a little kid. Quintessential American beer.
PBR...a favorite since the 70's!
Enjoyed my first PBR at my grandad's knee so I've been a fan for --- what? hey! 65 yrs!!!
21.00 a 30 pk out the door. Best American beer ever.
costs 25- 27 for a 15 pack in Canada. Crazy that is considered cheap
@@Padawan333Canada is fucked! who makes a FIFTEEN pack? you cant even split that evenly with your bro!
One of my favorite beers to drink!!!!!! in fact I'm drinking one right now!!!!!!!!!
That “taste” was like Dave Portnoy’s “one bite” 😂
You might be on to something! lol CHEERS!
I like PBR in the warm weather months but as a craft beer snob I rarely drink it in public . Prefer in a bottle or if from a can poured into a glass - never straight from the can . Better to me than most American macro brews.
In my opinion this beer tastes even better on draft. Theres a bar close to my buddies house that has it on draft. I ordered one and got lucky enough they had to crack open a fresh keg. Wow it tasted great especially on a hot day.
The best American Beer - history, almost 200 years, great simple taste - the way I like it
I brewed beer for over a decade. My father grew a vineyard. After all that PBR was and is my go to beer for the light/ rice hull beers. F the hipsters and the ruskies for the price increase
54yrs old. PBR has been go to beer for many moons. Definitely not a hipster. Love it ice cold as you mentioned. Can't beat the price.
I never had a PBR until last year and I grabbed one at an arcade where they sell pints. I liked it right off the bat. I don’t like to drink just one brand but PBR is definitely in my rotation. Lol
PBR is a good tasting quality American brew. whether you’re at home or in public. Besides, who drinks beer for attention? They should be slapped.
As I've gotten older , i typically drink lite beer but occasionally I'll buy some full flavored beer and I'm frustrated with the monopoly that Anheuser Busch has on the shelf space in stores down in south Georgia. Have to leave the state to get any sort of variety
I've been drinking it off and on since the 70's. Love it. It's a nice light beer that's better than light "diet" beers. Refreshing instead of strong.
I used to drink PBR back in my good ole high-school days back in 2013. I worked at grocery store and had a cute cashier of age buy me a 24 pack 🤣 I also bought a mini fridge for my room so I could toss the beer in my backpack and sneak them in my room. It was cheap and fairly easy to down and I remember sitting on the shitter late at night right before school started. Did I mention it was the good ole days? 😂
I haven't touched PBR in YEARS, I'm now 28 and recently bought a 6 pack of GLASS bottles. And... It doesn't seem to hit the spot like I remembered it to, sadly. The initial hit to the tongue is great, but the after taste lingers of rubbing alcohol. Hard to enjoy now, but can't waste it. Cheers.
If you spent six years in Athens, you are certainly familiar with Clemson. I was there from 67 to 71 and during that time I'm sure I drank at least two kegs of PBR in the "student" bar, the Study Hall - the smell really wasn't good. PBR was apparently the official beer of South Carolina; Budweiser was not welcome there even though the Bud man came buy and gave out sexy posters. Anyway, I still have a soft spot in my heart for PBR because of all the fond memories and camaraderie in that sacred bar. I retired and moved just 15 miles from Clemson and was surprised that PBR is no longer the favoreds brew. I do remember that PBR on tap had a great flavor not found in cans. Anyway, thanks for the review and memories.

PBR is way ahead of the other “mainstream” beers like Bud, Busch, Natty Light, Miller, etc. It’s my #1 drink after mowing the yard on a hot day. Been drinking it since 1983.
I used to drink PBR a lot when I was in my early 20’s… I agree with the college bar smell… these days, there’s so many cheap beers to choose from, I usually go with High Life, it’s probably the cheapest in my area, so it’s usually my go to! I find most cheap beers are all about the same quality with slight differences in profile and nose but essentially all indistinguishable after 4-5 😂… I do enjoy a lower ABV when smoking something all day. A .6-.5% makes a difference when you’re doing a brisket all day!
Drinking a PBR after a night of High Life's. Prefer the sweet simplicity of the high life honestly
I told my grandad that PBR was a "Premium Beer" at bars and such these days... He laughed his azz off. 😂
I'm looking for a replacement for Bud Light.
So far I think it's gonna be Miller Lite..
But I'm open to suggestions.
I have never had a craft beer I can finish. 90% of my beer drinking evolves fishing.
Hot weather and a boat.
It's GOTTA be ice cold.👍
Moosehead Canadian Lager is good.
In the early 70’s our high school-age brew choices were pretty much Miller, Bud, and PBR. When my kids got to college and started drinking PBR to be retro, I had to laugh. As to your question, I drink cheap high AVB beers - old man in a lower economic bracket. So for me it Boatswain and Simpler Times.
I did not expect you to chug nearly the full pint lmao. Also I drink pbr because it is the best cheap beer. about $18 for a 18 pack of 12fl. oz. My favorite go-to beer would probably be modelo, but modelo isn't selling their beer for $1 a bottle lol.
I actually like it. You're right about it being cold. Nothing amazing, but it's cheap in a bar and bars are so expensive in America. I'll get a nicer beer at a bar if I'm in Asia, Latin America, Europe...probably Africa as well when I eventually visit. I prefer to get it on tap. Solid 2nd or 3rd beer too when playing pool
The Best of the cheap beers.
pbr is what they'd have at house shows around where I grew up. it's forever in my head associated with wild nights of hardcore music and stupid drugs. love this shit
I call it a craft beer with my friends as a joke, because we all agree that its the best cheap beer. We all will drop $30+ on a 4 pack of craft beer, but we will all also drink a (very cold) pbr without question. Its genuinely a very tasty light American beer for such a low price. A 6 pack of pbr is the same price as one of those craft beers i was talking about.
I remember Roys garage fridge in dearborn Mich. aleways stocked fulll. He was a enginsnerd at Ford moter Comp,any respect.
Lol I’m sippin a PBR right now, haven’t had one since I was in high school and thought I’d mix it up tonight 😂
PBR is the best tasting blue collar beer today.
Sooooo,
I was unsure what to choose at the grocery store this evening. I was in the mood for a dark ale but spied the PBR.
The last time i had ut was at the E-Club at 29 Palms, the one out at the ranges. We called it the Hook and Jab but im sure that usnt the real name.
Anyways, the beer has a nice color and head. The mouth feel was nice as well as the a slight fruity flavor.
Al told i think it beats any top sold pilsner out there.
A nice surprise for me.
It may be a bit sweet for my normal tastes but tonight it hit the spot for sure.
Edit: i was sipping my PBR and just wondered how folks rated it these days and your channel was the first i clicked.
Your show is pretty cool and easy to consume, like a tasty session brew.
Great review! I drink it cause it's cheap and good for cheap. Easy to drink, no musty after taste like Coors or Miller. No pure water like Bud light or MichUltra. Good, basic beer. GREAT review!
I absolutely love Pabst ❤️🇺🇸 for me, it strikes the right balance with flavor… Not too harsh nor bland. On a hot day, It goes down very smooth and refreshing ice cold.
I’m 42 and I’ve been drinking PBR on and off for the past decade. I’m not trying to impress anyone, it’s just one of the better cheap beers IMO
When I'm on the cheap and looking for a light, easy drinking, yellow fizzy beer, PBR, Lone Star, and Yuengling are my go-to during the Texas summers by the pool. Just picked up a 12 of PBR tonight before I watched video this along with a 12 of Sierra Nevada Torpedo Extra IPA. Cheers!
i never thought of pbr as a hipster beer because in my area, all the hipsters drink craft ipas and stouts and turn a blind eye to the cheap stuff but i've always enjoyed the cheap american lagers such as high life and coors banquet. i was introduced to pbr as a teenager because it was a few of my family members' go to beer so it never occured to me that it could be a hipster beer but i could see how it'd be frustrating to see a 20 something year old with a handlebar mustache claim this is some premium underground brew because its really just a cheap beer with no offputting flavors.
Drinking one now, on the 8th of February. I have been drinking a lot of quality expensive craft and German beer, and I decided to pick this up to try and it's not bad. $7.99 for a six pack of pint cans at the grocery store. I score it a 4.25 out of 5. Good lawnmower beer.
It's the best cheap beer imo (52 y.o. guy here)
We drank PBR in highschool because it was a higher ABV beer only found in liquor stores because quick stores used to be 3.2
I drink Pabst almost exclusively because I like it the best out of everything available in a 30 pack. If I'm feeling a little more zesty I'll spring for Coors banquet in a bottle or Schlitz. But when men and my friends do anything it's always Pabst. Because it's universally accepted and cheap.
Never heard of it till a 3x bank robber introduced it to me in St George Utah circa 2000 . Best cold sarsaparilla hands down ever. of course I was like hey with all that bank money cant you buy good beer :) PABST #theonlygoodbeer
I am, in fact, enjoying a TALL PBR - as we speak - and over my holiday vacation.
I am a homebrewer, and longtime beerhound(attended many beer festivals, competitions, etc) since circa 90’
I am 51 years of age, so I fit your profile. Lol
All kidding aside? I have been drinking this excellent swill since high school. I remember the price, for a suitcase well: $9.09/24 pack
My buddies, and I would chip In a couple bucks & we were GOOD!
I used to write ✍️ a weekly(beer) editorial dubbed “Libation Station” for a news website. I have enjoyed the best of the best beers. I have brewed nearly every style.
I digress, PBR is like comfort beer? Kinda like comfort food. Poor analogy? 😆
5/5 my standard for excellent cheap beer. No frills. Brother. 🍻
P.S: could’ve been my young, impressionable self, watching my dad/uncles put em away in the 70’s/80’s. But I don’t think I’d drink it, on that account. It’s good! PROST! 🍻

Yhe only beer I buy ,I truly like it impress how
I drink whatever I find that's cheapest. Usually Hamm's, Old Milwaukee, Natty, etc. I couldn't care less about what others think about it. If PBR is on sale, I'd drink that too. Things are getting too pricey to be worried about impressing others.
I like it, and do not drink it, to be seen. I had one at the C. Florida at Tulane game on Saturday (12oz. can).
You had only ONE? lol. CHEERS!
Corn grits no rice. It cost only $3.50 for a twelve pack back in 1983 when I started drinking it.
Pabst is my go to cheap beer besides Miller light and coors. Nothing beats some of the micro breweries in Wisconsin.
