Trump voters drink PBR. You wouldn't want people to think you vote for Captain Cheeto, would you? No, you want to show your solidarity with our illegally-immigrating brethren by drinkiing a Mexican beer. He's literally ripping babies out of their mothers' arms!

because they're just about the same price point and around the same level of drinkability
really there's not much distinction between it, the "hipsters drink PBR" stereotype is really more accurately "hipsters drink cheap beer", because by definition they don't have much money but attempt to gain status through "having taste". PBR was just the go-to cheap-but-drinkable beer that was stocked as the cheapest option at urban bars in the neighborhoods where this culture developed.

but there's no real reason why it had to be PBR, with other brands at a similar price point and drinkability. and a lot of the big gentrifying areas in the country are in hispanic neighborhoods, where tecate is a known quantity. and PBR's maybe got a bit of a stigma and maybe isn't quite as good.

I'd argue that, aside from all these beers being more or less the same, pic related is the true successor to PBR's hipster status. if anyone is picking up PBR-in-particular's lost market share, I'm pretty sure it's Hamm's, and they trade on similar "the beer my uncle used to drink" kind of pseudobranding.

mexican beers served more often with lime, and lime covers cheap-beer-taste better.

[Anonymous No.10910969]

>>10910953
Hmm, I think you're right about both the Hispanic neighborhood thing and the stigma thing.

Bushwick, Brooklyn is the hipster capital of NYC (and possibly the world), and there's a large Mexican population there, I wonder if that had something to do with all the hipster bars serving large amounts of Tecate.

And PBR became a stereotypical white hipster drink, and Tecate/High Life don't have that stigma. I haven't seen Hamm's anywhere around here, though.

Hamm's might be a bit more regional, they're definitely making a push in Chicago so I wouldn't be surprised if it were still relatively midwestern. It drink pretty good, I'd give it a try if you have a palate for this-tier-of-beer.

I'd generally go for an Old Style if it's all the same though.

[Anonymous No.10910996]

Is it just me, or is Tecate the most "beer" tasting beer?

It crushes the AAL style. Clean tasting with no weird off flavors, and sufficiently carbonated.

[Anonymous No.10911003]

>>10910996
I don't claim to be a beer expert or enthusiast, but I think it does have a rather obvious off taste. In fact, that "off" taste (I can't come up with a better way to describe it) is ideal, IMHO, for cooking carnitas.

If you asked me to name the most generically "beer" tasting beer I'd tell you Carlsberg or Dos Equis.

microbrews are too popular, american macro-brews are perceived as "the man's" beer, and they can pretend to be friends with a brown person if they are seen with it (perceived authenticity). "yea man nobody is touching the tecate I brought but me and Julio pound these while we make tamales all the time. says it's his abuela's recipe. you should come try it sometime".

Theeeere you go. It was the most tolerable beer in its price bracket most North American places in 2008. It's popularity had more to do with that than appropriating working class culture or whatever.

Absolutely true. As much as people like to pretend otherwise all these cheap beers are pretty much the same. People have been switching from PBR to other beers because PBR has a huge hipster stigma rn and hipsters will never admit to being hipsters. Any cheap beer that's sorta obscure and unpopular will become the next thing to drink after Tecate and High Life get too big. I think they're too big already honestly.
Funny enough a lot of hipsters now are drinking corona too, which ain't cheap. I think that the next cool drinks are going to be straight up euro macros like Heineken and Grolsch, already started drinking them myself
