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 gold color with a small white head and fair retention. Spotty lacing. Virtually no aroma. Smooth, clean, and grainy pale lager flavor with a hint of booze in the finish. Overall, it's not really different than a regular PBR, except with a little kick in the finish. This can was a lot smoother than my first can from Utah. Medium-light body. Good carbonation and low bitterness. A decent basic lager, as long as you drink it white it's cold.

12 oz. clear bottle purchased at Total Wine - The Rim, San Antonio, TX. Pours a crystal clear dark gold color with a large white head and very good retention. Good lacing. Souring pale malts aroma. Generic pale malt flavor. Soft mouthfeel. Flat body. Not much of anything, but not terrible either.

Quarantine Beer #119 sampled at home on 05/10/2020. Cloudy brown color with a thin beige head that recedes quickly to a sparse outer ring. Spotty lace. Coffee, chocolate and vanilla aroma. Light-bodied with flavors of roast coffee, chocolate and vanilla. The finish is sweet with a vanilla mocha aftertaste. Decent overall.

The aromas are oxidized resin hops and wet grain. Flavors are similar to nose bittersweet with okay carbonation and body. they spent more money on the label than they did on the recipe or the brewing.

16oz can from the state store. Pours clear light golden with a medium sized white head that dissipates quickly. Corn, dough, honey, grainy, sticky sweet. Nasty finish. I like a cold pbr in the summer when outside, but I wouldn't have this one. Not going to be able to finish the can.
