Gloriously cheap.

Probably one of the better cheap-ghetto college beers available. . .

On draft, it's probably a solid experience because it might qualify as one of the best cheap beers ever. . .which is like being the lightest kid at Fat Camp. But any beer fan should at least try it on tap.

Made popular by impoverished drunkards in the early 20th century, now revitalized by impoverished hipster douchebags in the early 21st century.

Good but High Life Light is better

It is much better than the higher priced American lagers, ie: Bud, Coors, Miller etc. The only bad thing is I can only find it in cans here is Texas. I found Pabst in bottles while vacationing in Colorado and it is so much better than in cans! Good beer for the price!

I am not sure why, but this has become the "hipster" beer of choice. It is certainly cheap and the only time I will consume it is at Bob & Barbara's in Philadelphia, where their signature "special" is a can of PBR with a shot of Jim Beam. Since Pabst Blue Ribbon is a rather dilute beer, it serves as a good chaser. The strong taste of bourbon overwhelms the crappy taste of this beer.

Do you even get drunk from this stuff? I remember drinking a few and thinking "wow, this not only taste bad, but I'm not even buzzed." This is the hipster beer of choice and I really don't know why else besides the price. Granted, the beer has some nostalgic purposes, but it ends there!

PBR is nothing special, but for the price you can do worse. Its not a beer I'd buy off of the shelf, but I'll pay for it if its the cheap option at a bar and I'm not in the mood to spend money on a better beer. Here in Maryland though, Natty Boh is the crappy, cheap beer of choice.

PBR is better than the beer most people drink and represents the American lager well. I appreciate their support for the music scene and that they have saved many local favorite beers. Most importantly, it is very drinkable considering the reasonable price.

A good journeyman beer. A little more flavor than most mainstream American lagers. Mostly see the canned beer in my area. I bought a bottled 40 ouncer a few weeks ago to try and it was quite good for the style. Wouldn't mind trying a fresh one on tap sometime.

I don't see why people buy Bud or Coors, or even Natty Ice when they're looking for a good inexpensive party / session / pong beer. This stuff actually tastes pretty good (as good as a 3.99 per six pack beer is going to taste) and is pretty easy to pound down if you can stomach beer period. Plus it's like the official beer of punk rock, and we all love punk rock don't we?

The original was better, Pabst 33 and Andeker was a tasty beer.

  the official beer of rock'n'roll!

I only drink it when I am broke and cannot afford good German beer.

Pabst is horrible tasting and it's blessed w/a horrible aftertaste. It's really gross.

Great when you are out of cash or drinking at a bar that used to be a gas station.

If you drink Bud or Miller try Pabst. About the same and much cheaper.

PBR won a taste award in 2006. It is one of the lighter flavored regular beers, very drinkable. It's a great summer time beer and an American classic; much better from bottles than cans, and one beer that I actually prefer a bottle over draft.

My fave since college 40+ years ago. Like the previous poster we bought 'em for a quarter except in bottles and the empty bottle could be traded-in for a nickle.

A lot of people bad mouth PBR, but I cut my teeth on this stuff in college. I could get 25 cent drafts in a place called the Plaza Tap Room, and I'd sit at the bar drinking this and eating hard boiled eggs. Mmmmmmm! Actually, if you get it in longnecks and get it cold, it's quite drinkable. I'll drink this before Budweiser.

My Dad used to drink this when we were kids. My brother and I later converted him to Mich light!

This is a great beer!! I have been drinking it since the 70's and insist the stores in my area carry it. I have tried other beers and always come back to Pabst. I now live in a college town and often survey the students on their beer habits. Pabst seems to be coming back in style. It has great body with a real full beer taste. You better try it before it catches on and the price goes up.

Not even Marines drink it. That speaks poorly for it...

the best beer ever and its cheaper than the bull sh*t so if you dont know now you know b*tch*es. im out

toda cerveza es malo par la salud, es mejor el vino o la champain

It's beer.... Not tasted it, so why not love it

Bleh Beer... i've heard horror stories about this one!

YUK!!!

Good beer, really cheap, and the cards under the caps are a plus. My roommate and I have already collected 4 or 5 decks. 

Update: It's actually a really good beer out of the bottle or if on tap, out of the can, however, I admit, it's not so great. Reading through the reviews below is kind of like reading the reviews for grizzly chewing tobacco, although even less coherent. Some good laughs though. At least with the new filter on the recent reviews page, we don't have to put up with these things anymore unless we're looking for a laugh or two.

neva tried it....

When they sell it here, I'll consider a better rating!

Great in a keg at the Renissance when it is the only beer there!!

Haven't tried it so i'll stay neutral on this one.

its a biking beer

I rarely had a bad beer in my life, and this stuff brings back memories of the good old days.
