Is Pabst All Dried Up?

php4XSVxRPM.jpg A popular drink that gave a certain vague demographic in the city the vitamins, nutrients and cheap thrills they needed to become the Young, Creative Urbanites they are today... is going under! The company has been for sale for a little while, and now there's some sort of campaign happening to buy it. You can help! After all, they did only charge you 2 bucks a pop all those years. Come on Pabstsmears, get involved! Or, whatever. [via moneyries]

    I have always declared Gennese Cream ale my crap beer of choice... that classy green label and oh so smooth taste is far superior to that PBR crap

  • krinkle cut fires

    I do love me the genessee, where does one procure that outside of cities past Albany on the Throughway?

  • kcin122

    from reading this website I have concluded that hipsters love craft beer but also cheap beer.

    ah yes quite the conundrum

  • Snoopy

    Anyone who drinks all that cheap beer better wear conundrums.

    Don't know if it's still around, but I used to drink Utica Club back in the day...it was cheap ($1.04 a six pack back in 1975) and light enough that you could drink a lot of it!

    Sometimes, I just order the cheapest beer no matter where I am, because I can afford to drink more that way. If that offends anyone, I have several suggestions regarding degrading sexual activities they can go ahead and do.

  • John Clavis

    Pabst is yummy. I am no hipster. Alls yalls can lick my balls.

  • marcasm

    Schaefer is the one beer to have when you're having more than one

  • Wza

    Cool.

    First the death of the beer, next, the death of hipsters.

  • Guest

    the remaining h*psters have to wait for something like magic hat, probably about 25 years from now.

  • ProcedureTurn

    Schaeffers is just fine too.

  • matty

    I love PBR. I've always found it hard to come by in NYC. People drink coors light out there. The choice of peodophiles nationwide.

  • moike

    Jen, Why are you such a self-loathing hipster? Do you think real people read your site? If anything you owe your low paying blogging "job" to hipsters, why not show some thanks instead of constant disdain?

  • RevWaldo

    "Pabst Blue Ribbon!? F*CK THAT SH*T!! ___(beer name)____!!"

  • moocowtoo

    >which has already raised over $87M

    Ha, that is PLEDGED money, not real money donated, big difference.

    Also the ticker is at 87M counting down to 0 (from I presume 300M start)

    So this is basically all a pretend attempt to buy the company.

  • kazubes

    Williamsburg residents, phone your parents for donations!

  • valeriob

    You want them to pay for their rent, ironic t's, AND to save their PBRs?? No dice, kid.

  • Cannibal

    This may lead to the Most Unattractive Protest of All Time.

  • dirty hipster

    There's so much better cheap canned beer out there.

    Schlitz please!!

  • Snoopy

    "PBR The beer that made Williamsburg Famous"

    I believe Schlitz is made by Pabst.

    What other cheap beers do you recommend?
