Pabst Blue Ribbon Beer (PBR)

Well here it is, the original Pabst Blue Ribbon Beer! This one’s a classic and a favorite, especially among the beer drinkers in my town, Asheville, NC. It’s always on special and never lets you down!

As far as how good of a beer it is, this one’s a real toss up. As I’ve mentioned before, PBR has its certain place in the world, just like any Adam Sandler movie. (Sorry Adam Sandler; I do like your movies, however; please don’t feel insulted).

PBR has a great foam head, just like the majority of the other American domestic pilsner beers. The color is that perfect urine light gold you expect out of a cheap beer. The aroma is pretty much of American pilsner, the response you’d get from a piña collada-drinking housewife with no taste for beer.

I will admit that I’ll take down many a PBR, quite happily. When money’s tight, PBR will take good care of you! PBR also makes a great beer for long-weekend camping; just pick up a few suitcases and you’re set! (Just wedge ‘em in the river behind a rock; mountain river water is the perfect temperature for cooling beer!)

Steel Reserve High Gravity Beer

My brother prefers Steel Reserve over Pabst Blue Ribbon, and I think he’s crazy. Sure, PBR ain’t the best, but it’s got its place in the world, just like any decent Adam Sandler movie.

Steel Reserve is a beer that I will call a pure utility beer; it has a job to do, and that’s what it’s going to do.

It honestly tastes like pretty much nothing. I used to think Coors Light won the prize for being the most tasteless beer, but I’ve changed my tune now. Steel Reserve, so far you’re the new winner of the Most Tasteless Beer prize. Congratulations!

Overall, it’s not really that bad, but it’s not really very good either.

Steel Reserve, in my opinion, was born for the can. So just go ahead and drink it directly from the can, don’t pour it, and by all means, don’t think much about it. The tagline should’ve been:

> Steel Reserve: It’ll do.

A picture is worth a thousand words, so here’s my go-get-em for Steel Reserve!

A reluctant thumbs up for Steel Reserve
