Just had a sixer last week

Never drank this. What elevates it beyond standard macrolager pisswater?

Bought a six pack last night. Fucking big time regret. Very disgusting beer. Half decent abv at ~6%. Made with corn.

Old style is better

>>11666093
Nothing. It has more of a hop presence than most imo

>>11666121
Its malty as fuck dude, like a budweiser with a dash of caramel syrup.

>>11666129
I find it way more crisp than bud, personally

>>11666061
this and natty are for poorfags

>>11666061
>>11666158
It'll never be as crisp and refreshing as the beer from The Land of Sky Blue Water

Hamm's the Beer Refreshing

hands down the worst "beer" i've ever drank

>>11666247
i too have migrated from pbr to hamms

>>11666061
matters to me, I drink a 40 of it most days

>>11666061
My local supermarket here in Moscow had some of this on the shelf randomly the other week, so I tried it for the first time ever. It was decent enough lager. I would drink again.

>>11666247
Now this is a great budget beer. High life or hamms are my poor choices

>
>>11666061
Your English is fucking garbage. Literally kys subhuman filth

>>11666061
Pabst sucks dick. Would rather drink natty

>>11666247
if i can't afford a 10-14 dollar six pack, i'd rather not even drink.

>>11666093
it's usually the cheapest beer, also apparently hipsters like it and it was in Blue Velvet

>>11666061
it's god tier with crawfish boils

>>11666540
>he drinks alone
Slow pitch? Buy a 30 rack for the club. Fishing on the river? Buy a 30 rack for the gang. Camping? Buy a 30 rack for the crew.

>>11666061
No, it's shit. even for me a seasoned alchy whos main drink is beer.

>>11666547
PBR stopped being the cheapest in 2011 after it got copped by every hipster. Its the same price as bud and Coors now

>>11666558
True but it sucks that you’d have to drink like 7-8 just to get a buzz
Rather by something a little more expensive at that point

>>11666540
agreed

>>11666061
I'd rather drink coors

God bless PBR. It dug me out of a hole of alcoholism by tasting so fucking awful. I had been binging buying a 12 pack a night of beer for a few months, immature, treating myself like shit until one night I happened upon a box of PBRs. I had heard that they were pretty good, so I purchased them. I drank two before I couldn't stand it anymore and poured them all out. PBR is the shittiest, cheapest, artificial corn tasting nasty bullshit beverage ever devised and perpetuated by hipsters. It tastes like you are drinking flat soda water that sat in cardboard. It's fucking nasty. I cold turkey'ed alcohol and didn't have another drink for 6 months after those two PBRs.

>>11666584
>I had been binging buying a 12 pack a night of beer for a few months

you think that makes you an alcoholic?

>>11666540
>$10-$14 six pack of Hamm's
Dude, where the fuck are you that it costs that much? A 30 pack in my store is like $20.

>>11666571
Nobody I hang with gets buzzed off beer. Beer is a buzz maintainer. For softball a handle of seagrams gin mixed in a cooler of glacier blue Gatorade, everything else its bring your own flask.

>>11666093
it's essentially budweiser. There's some difference but if you want to know what to expect, it's roughly budweiser. I've heard people say they drink it because it's union made

>>11666702
>drink it because its union made
Ayyy lmao 1920 called they want its virtue signal back.

>>11666061
other beers have replaced it as the hispters choice in canada

>>11666061
All the boomers at work swear by it

>>11666247
>>11666344
>>11666540
I too am 65 years old

>>11666749
like fucking clockwork


any mention of a union is followed by denigrating comment

>>11666061
Its dirt cheap and it's just drinkable enough no one leaves to get a case of what they prefer. It's not so drinkable that you cant keep an untouched case in your fridge for random company regardless of class. Honestly that sort of makes it an ideal beer for me. I'd never come home and just open a pbr for the sake of it or drink too much because I just liked the taste. Sometimes it's the bad things that make something practical.

>>11667275
Yeah, and it's invariably someone who is being royally fucked by his employer and receives no benefits.
>b-but unions is boogeymen 'cause F(au)x News told me so, ok?

>>11666702
All the major macro brands are union made

>>11666061
Some would say it’s the only drink that matters.

>>11667275
>>11667398
Defend unions because!

>>11666061
If I'm getting cheap pisswater its usually this or rolling rock, but at that price-point it's just preference I suppose.

>>11669583
...because you deserve to actually have leverage when negotiating with the people that control your livelihood? Yeah, totally fucking soy

>>11669583
Because they supply the means to negotiate a living wage and benefits with large companies

>>11670373
why are you OK with certain groups of people (unions) having legal rights that others (non-union) employees have? Isn't the goal that everyone is equal under the law? Why should some people have more rights than others?

>>11670380
I can tell you’re trying really really hard but no one here that supports unions is going to fall for your Jordan Peterson lite bullshit.

call me a hipster but I love a good 'ol PBR on occasion.
when I first turned 21 I would hang out at my buddy's house when he was off duty for the Marine Reserve and he'd give me PBRs. its all he drank. so its more nostalgia than anything. but its a decent beer. nothing fancy, just a beer.

>>11670394
I have no idea who Jordan Peterson is. Can you just answer the question without deflecting, please?

>>11670402
Yes, the goal is to have everyone equal under the law, but unfortunately that isn’t the case. Joining a union gives you protections that the union negotiates with employers to ensure fair treatment, negotiations that you, as a lone employer, cannot make because you have no leverage. If you don’t want these protections then don’t join the union, your loss.

>>11670409
Not to mention that employers often do fire employees when they ARE protected under the law, because realistically a minimum wage employee has no way of challenging or fighting back, a union prevents that from happening altogether or offers resources to help if it does.

>>11670380
Everyone has the same legal rights. Unions just allow a potentially voiceless group of people to actually gain a voice in the company they work for. If you want to get walked all over then be my guest though.

>>11670409
totally different Anon here but if I may pontificate, for your edification:
don't give me that fuckin shit.
unions are a SHAM.
>work at union job
>paid shit
>plus union takes money out of my paycheck
>get new job
>same blue collar type shit, no college required
>get paid way more
>no union taking my money

>>11670422
They paid you more by slashing your benefits. Unions 9/10 times secure a viable future for you

>>11670352
>>11670373
Worked out swell for the teamsters and UAW, oh wait...

Union can work but its a very nuanced issue and you shouldnt think poorly of someone if they aren't pro union. There have been enough bad unions and results that they have engendered a legitimate critique as an effective means of balancing the leverage of the working man. Every industry and every union should be viewed in their specific context so to be automatically pro or automatically anti union as a form of ideology is a farce in either case. As an example I would never buy PBR because its "union made" I would want to know more about brewer and bottler unions and whether or not its even a distinction worth supporting.

>>11670422
Wow your personal experience with 2 entry level jobs really blew everything I knew about unions out of the water, anon. Really though, in the current political climate, unions are prettyyyy neutered at the moment but I’d still rather have them then not.

>>11670437
ackchuyually
my benefits are much better at the new job

>>11666061
Did it ever matter?

>>11670441
you seem to really have a hard on for unions, what are you, one of those faggots who comes around to the job every now and then to brag about how he's "protecting workers rights" when hes really just leeching the paychecks?

>>11670439
I was part of the Teamsters and the only reason I was paid above minimum wage was because of them. One state over my job paid 5$ less an hour and paid less for mileage reimbursement on your personal vehicle.
They arent always great, but having that union in your corner is ten times better than having nothing at all because it does help keep large companies in check

>>11670451
I mean, I live in a state where unions have practically no presence or power, I would kill for even a shitty union but if you even bring it up people look at you like you just said you want to bring Maoism to the US Z

if the employer is treating you so shit that you "need" a union, that's a job that should probably be shipped off to China anyways

don't give me this " be grateful that you get $10 an hour minus what we take out of it to DEFEND YOUR RIGHTS AS A WORKER" bullshit

done with that shit and now making almost $20 an hour with no union faggots

>>11670453
Yeah but your $5 raise contributes more to organized crime than if you bought a rock off the corner.

I forgot what this thread is even about. oh yeah. Pabst Blue Ribbon. good 'ol PBR.
tbqh I think they bottle/can it under contract at the local brewery.

>>11666061
no Blue ribbon is obsolete.

>>11670453
I worked at FedEx when there was some popular support for voting in the teamster union. I was not a driver, but a dockworker, and Fedex raised everyone on the docks to max pay being almost $20 dollars per hour. I'm really not sure the conditions, and pay of other service centers compared to the one I worked at. During that time i really did not give a shit about a union, being that id rather make my own. It seemed as if it were mainly the drivers who were concerned with the matter, but im sure some dockworkers cared as well. Most of the docks employees were comprised of part timers who really did not give a shit, and a core full time crew. The particular center where i worked at the time had one of the largest docks if not the largest in the area.

>>11670530
when i say raised everyone's pay i mean the part timers, the full time employees were making a decent amount more than the part timers.

>>11670451
This is an example of one of the most egregious crimes of rightwing propaganda - convincing those who benefit the most from collective bargaining that unions are an atheist, commie plot to steal precious bodily fluids. Tbf, it isn't only the poor worker shmucks' fault since the right has done their damndedest to defund education to keep the poor sots susceptible to their relentless stream of corporate hegemony propaganda.

>>11666061
of course it won a blue ribbon what other beer has that honor?

>>11671000
Unions killed domestic auto manufacturing in America and GB don't put them on a pedestal. I think collective bargaining is an inefficient cop out used by pro corporation legislatures to dodge the bullet on comprehensive reform.

>>11666094
the abv for pbr is 4.8

>>11671017
You cannot blame employees for improper management of an organization.

The fucking poorly managed and greedily run companies killed themselves and then blamed workers.

>>11671120
No they didn't. The companies are still around the jobs aren't because they moved them. The workers were greedy and demanded too much money and too many benefits especially in retirement to allow for the companies to maintain a viable profit margin at competitive international prices. Japanese auto workers have no union and neither does VW the other largest manufacturers but the employees still make a decent and fair living.

>>11666061
that was the beer we got in high school when we gave the homeless guy at the kwikee mart $20. he'd buy a case for us, keep 6 beers and the change. we didn't give a shit...we had 18 beers between 3 of us. we were usually trashed after 4 each.

>>11666299
Baste

>>11671120
employees want all the money but none of the responsibility of running a business

>>11671205
employees want a fair and reasonable wage

>>11671210
yes they should also be sent a bill if the company owes money

>>11671217
This. Full co op or full private none of this pussyfooting around.

>>11671227
workers should have to take on a portion of the company's debt when they are hired

>>11666061
It's alright but with popularity came a higher pricetag and it really only shines in the $5 a sixpack price group

>>11671233
Some do in a way if you're a salaried employee who gets a portion of payment in stock. The stock is only as valuable as the health of the company. But from a fiscal perspective as a corporate entity you really don't want your credit tied up in the financials of mortal and possibly poor credit holding individuals and a bank definitely doesn't want its loan tied to some jack off who can kick the bucket before payments are made it adds a whole extra layer of risk that corporations and governments don't have.

>>11671131
>>11671131
Not true. A great irony is the red states who voted "open shop," aka "castrate labor" laws saw a mass exodus of corporations anyway, because paying $3.00/hr to Bangledeshis is preferable to paying slightly below liveable wages to an american.

Amazing how an originally anarcho-syndicalist board ends up being fascist bootlickers.

>>11670399
Fuck off normie

>>11671398
>auto manufacturing got moved to Bangladesh
Stop with the ignorant grand standing hyperbole already. They're in Canada and Mexico where their unions aren't fucked by greedy Italian mobsters.

>>11671413
Oh, go fire up your coal stove, Cletus.

>>11671428
K?

>>11667275
As a union worker, fuck unions and fuck you.

>>11670482
What does this even mean

>>11672250
The Mafia uses the teamsters to launder money. Its probably not as bad as peak Vegas construction days but you can still be rest assured that the mafia has scams in teamsters, garbage, and construction unions.

>>11672316
I truly couldn't care less

>>11672338
Unfortunately ideologues rarely pay much heed to the corruption their inflexible stances engender.

>>11671017
Shit cars killed the American auto industry, you trailer rodent.

PBR's alright. There are better beers out there, but I keep coming back to it, I can find it wherever I go and it's cheap. Plus, my girlfriend hates it so I buy it to spite her

>>11670511
You are obsolete Mr. Wordsworth!

>>11672413
How large of an influence does the mafia have on your life?

>>11666564
>PBR stopped being the cheapest in 2011 after it got copped by every hipster.
That was 2003.

Drank an 18 pack a day for 3 days in a row last week. Just had some minor heart palpitations

>>11671013
Miller High Life, it's the champagne of beers!
