Description
In 1996 Pabst, once one of the largest breweries in the United States closed down its production in Milwaukee after 152 years. Since then Pabst’s legacy brands like Pabst Blue Ribbon (PBR), Old Milwaukee, Lone Star, Rainier, Stroh’s, Old Style and Schlitz are brewed under contract by third parties. For nearly two decades, MillerCoors brews and distributes all of Pabst's beers under an agreement. In 2019, it has entered with City Brewing Company into a 20-year contract production agreement until 2040. Pabst will gradually transfer from 2021 until 2024 its production from MillerCoors to City Brewing.

16 oz. can. Pours a crystal clear pale straw gold color with a small white head and poor retention. No lacing. Grainy aroma. Tastes like old school beer. Semi-sweet grainy lager. Crisp mouthfeel. A little watery. Fairly clean. Decent enough.

PBR used to be a mainstay, I have not had one in quite a while until now. On tap at a loud bar in Chicago, it is the standard medium yellow of this style in general. It tastes of barley and corn and water. Better than some, a beer to watch baseball with.

16 ounce can from Woodman’s Appleton, 5/29/19. Been looking for a single of this forever. Clear gold, large fizzy white head, good retention. Aroma of grain and pale malt. Taste is grain, lemon.

Pours clear golden with a thin white head. Aroma of lagered rice malt. Taste is sweet, almost like honey. Palate has almost nothing to it. Sweet and plain.

Corn/barley malt and straw aroma. Golden yellow with giant white head. Moderately sweet corn syrup, barley malt, and mildly bitter weedy hay flavor. Okay body. Not bad if you drink it fast. Think I'll stick with regular PBR or PBR Easy, but if you want PBR malt liquor - this is it.

A weak shadow of the great PBR that I had a keg of for my 18th birthday. Now it's just plain old adjunct World lager.

16 ounce can, best by June 17th 2019.

Pours a clear straw gold with lots of foam, decent lacing.

Smells grainy sweet, earthy, light hop bitterness.

Taste is earthy, grainy that is sweet but to the level of a Malt Liquor. Bitterness is light and imho, could be a little bolder to add some dryness.

Medium bodied.

Pretty good amped up PBR.

16 oz can. Aroma is corn chips, chalky candy, grain, biscuity. Great looking beer, pouring clear golden with a thick long-lasting pillowy head that leaves curtains of soapy lace. Taste is sweet and boozy with a hint of hop bitterness; finishes a bit dry. Eh.

My last memories of pbr is it being thrown at me at the bar as a freebie and then it was all downhill
