In defense of PBR

I dont fit any of the above criteria, I will jump in and defend PBR. Oh and I use Android phones because Im a Linux user. Seems alot of beers have been thrown on the trend wagon, IE= Naty(nasty) Lites, the various Michalobe lites, Butt Lite, Miller and Coors lite and even Corona lite. I wonder how they can make the beers taste any worse but they do and the "trend setters" seem to think they like them. From what I understand in the northeast colleges is Natural lite=Naty lites taste terrible but are a cheap drunk..

For me lagers serve one purpose, summer quencher. Lone Star, Red Stripe, Shiner Bock and even yes PBR.. After a blazing hot ride, run or hike in the Missouri heat and humidity there is nothing better than a very very cold PBR. That is about the only time.. with one exception. THe photos below show me in Lukla, Nepal after 19 days of Everest base camp treking. I shared the local drink, chang, but happened on one shop with the blue and red can sitting way in the corner. I had to have on, even just for the photo op of having a PBR with English and Chinese on the label. It was warm so didnt taste that great but just the chance happening was worth it. That being said I am a drinker and brewer of fine ales, the darker the better, so like I said lagers are for those hot lawn mowing days. Cheers
