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.

Can, so this is the 'new' Pabst Light? Pours a perfectly clear pale lager yellow. Nice big head fades fairly rapidly to about quarter inch. Lots of visible carbonation in there. Nose is a little bit of cream corn backed up by some fresh cut hay from Pennsylvania fields, hehehh. First big swig is friendly and easy, no real bitterness in here. Nicely bubbly on the palate. As a lager lover, I'm enjoying this stuff. Cold, it comes across somewhat refreshing. Even though I can't remember, I see on the original PBR light, I gave it about a 4.8 so I guess this is better to an extent. Finish is clean with no negative attributes. Not bad and hey, I got a 30 pack for 30 cents a can! Can't beat that !!! Especially if yer a macro lager drinker. Tho I can get Outlaw for about the same price.

Went boating with a friend and this is what he offered me. Really it wasn’t too bad! Much better than a coors light. Some light hops and the typical macro malts. It’s a macro lager but really wasn’t undrinkable like most.

Tap at Wolf, Birmingham. Clear gold, small white top. Aroma has a sweet grain and floral hop note. Taste of grains, corn, slightly syrupy, reasonably grassy, crisp and not watery. A bit more hoppy than your average American mass lager but sadly it only improves the flavour slightly with this one.
