Well which one are you currently enjoying? :lol:

Is there some kind of trending thing that makes this a joke? Because then I'd have to vote that I don't understand.

I've actually never had Pabst Blue Ribbon. If stores around here stock it, then the blinders I where when I go beer shopping have kept me from seeing it.

I'm not a huge fan of Heineken, although I use to drink a lot of Heineken Light years ago. Haven't had it in a long time though.

My favorite really cheap beer is Genesee Cream Ale. I'd choose it over PBR or Heineken any day.

Unfortunately, it's not widely available where I now live.

I'm thinking this is referencing the famous line from Blue Velvet? Lol, fun thread.

I've had both Heineken and Pabst Blue Ribbon ... PBR was more of a college beer for me, as where I went to school in CT, you could get a 30 pack for around $14, IIRC. And it was a bit better than the other cheap options. Later on, when I lived in lower Manhattan, PBR was a staple cheap beer at many bars.

However, Heineken is something my father and uncles used to drink (some still do) and my family would usually have some on hand in the cooler for holiday get togethers. Also, when I traveled to Amsterdam back in 2007, I had a chance to go to the Heineken brewery, which was a really cool experience. I still pick up Heinekens from time to time as well.

Overall, I like the taste of Heineken better, so I'm going with Heineken!

No lie, it was PBR. LOL
I prefer Heineken... or an IPA.

I've been rewatching quite a bit of Lynch's stuff recently but never got around to rewatching Blue Velvet. I should change that soon.

Oh and I never had PBR. Hilariously enough because that was considered the hipster beer.

If y'all ever see Steel Reserve avoid that crap. It tastes like you're munching on nails.

If we're debating cheap beer, as a texan my vote goes to Lone Star. For the longest time my favorite bar had $2 lone star on draft. I'm skinny as hell so I could get drunk on like 6-8$.

Otherwise PBR>Heineken. I went to DC for vacation with a friend in High School, and one morning I asked his dad if we were going to get any breakfast. He cracked open a PBR and handed it me and said "if you're still hungry after that drink another one". I've had a soft spot for it ever since.

PBR is pretty filling.

Apparently this is at a gas station down the way from me. May check it out some time next week.
