PABST BLUE RIBBON

[rainbowschild]

PBR is one of the good things left about America. It is not brewed in China and imported is it?

[MrWelsluth]

PBR is the best and it's a union brew!!!

[DK7834]

@MrWelsluth at ... and they screwed over all the workers at their home brewery by leaving Milwaukee in 96'.

[Marquette12]

This was even shot at Pabst's personal bar at his brewery in Milwaukee. Talk about being part of the company.

[JoshuaTaylor]

And of course, after about 10 of them, your Dad would come home and beat the shit out of you for no good reason.... But, that's another story.

[MN12DOTNET]

Awesome.. Go on a date with your Wife/Girlfriend in your suit, drinking Pabst and harassing the guy serving it. Sounds like a great evening to me! They had the right idea in the 1950's..

[sportsfever420]

PBR on draft? Wish I was this lucky

[sparkie119]

Really  good tv ad. Liked the PBR serving trays the beers were carried on. BPR is a descent tasting American brew--a hell of a lot better tasting than Carling's Black Label-Yuck!!!!!!!!!!!

[hebneh]

Overly happy people - all engaging in a mass synchronized arm-swinging, polka-inspired beer frenzy.

The location that this was filmed in is still here in Milwaukee. The room is Blue Ribbon Hall at the old Milwaukee Pabst Brewery, the flagship historic brewery that closed in 1996.

Jim Haertel bought the former Gift Shop, Blue Ribbon Hall, Sternewirt (Hospitality Room for the Brewery Tours) and has reopened them as "Best Place at the Historic Pabst Brewery". You can enjoy a cold Pabst Blue Ribbon in the room that you see above.

[SuperYantz]

These 1950 people are way too happy. Has anyone ever heard of a mean drunk?

[JENDALL714]

Funny how they are swinging their arms and not a drop of beer spilled. Most likely fake glass.

[stringbenderE2E]

Can't believe I've been drinking Bud all these years ... just had a Pabst and it was GREAT ... brings back good memories (college days)

[Schlitz71]

A 30-rack is about $15 - 15.50 around my neck of the woods (East Central WI)

[biggdd2]

yea, not the best beer, but glad that we can still get it, pabst is american history

[scaramoochscaramooch]

you can get a 12 pack any liquor store $4.99 +CRV.............lol

[wdp11683]

only hipsters drink this junk.

[hippo99x]

Remember the days when an adult man would dress in white jacket and bow tie, go to the corner bar to wait tables for an eight hour shift, then come home and not have his kids think of him as the biggest loser on the planet?

[inkey2]

@hippo99x thats a profound statement. Like back in the day when a "Bank teller" was a "profession" and people would retire at 65 after putting in 30 years at the same bank

[Spartacus217]

FUCK HEINEKIN! Pabst Blue Ribbon.

[Juliaflo]

@Spartacus217 I add Rheingold, Knickerbocker, Piels and Schaefer to the mix.

[redcarpetlounge]

Yummy Peebers

[frankmorris5]

Those were the days when you could get drunk in a bar and drive home in a 50's car without seatbelts capable of plowing through a house and out the other side and on down the road. If stopped by the law, a mere $2 fine. Ahhh. Grand days indeed.

[itto75]

This made me lol.

[Catalina65389]

lol yeah, and half the time they would just tell you to get your drunk ass home with no fine at all.

[aduecey]

Yeah that was before the states got greedy and realized they could turn dui fines into a healthy source of income

[inkey2]

@frankmorris5 yeah, like an old chrysler 300 series with a 383 engine, weighed 4000 pounds and do "0 to sixty in 6 seconds"

[boogiearms]

PBR, best beer on the planet! who can beat a 6 pack of tall boys for $5, either? no one! PBR, PBR, PBR!!!!

[japetus]

If you don't like PBR, you are unamerican. Bottom line. PBR is Joe The Plumber, Uncle Sam and Old Glory brewed into a can of perfection.

[schmarcie]

You Betcha!

[stringbenderE2E]

@japetus Hell yeah !

[fromthesidelines]

Who's speaking "ill" of them? At the time this originally aired in 1958, there were FOUR Pabst breweries- one in Milwaukee, Peoria {Heights}, Illinois, Newark, N.J., and the fourth in Los Angeles. Now, there's just ONE- and that's because Pabst didn't know how to maintain their "edge" in the fiercely competitive beer market over the years. Now, it's making a "comeback"...and I'm happy!

[unkillsam]

Actually SABMiller and High Falls contract-brew PBR. So in essence if you buy PBR you are sending money to a marketing firm run by about 100 people and a fraction of that money makes in bact to Miller, which is owend by SAB based out of England. The 2 largest brewers in the country at the moment are Sam Adams and Yuengling. I drink Miller High Life because it is much cheaper then Sam Adams and even Yuengling by $4.00 a case, and at least it is still made in a union run factory in Millwaukee.

[Avantyawn]

mmmm Pabst

[mand0play]

YUCK!

[paperdriven]

That good stuff right there. Malty smooth.

[5stringkeith]

But they didn't dare drink one drop did they. Big no no back then...

[drunkboxer]

They don't/can't drink on tv ads now, bucko.

[redneckpride4ever]

The cop in my D.A.R.E. class said they drink a beer look-alike on shows like Cheers.

[TR5000]

Only because they're talking, you know they had all gotten smashed off some nice PBR 40s right before they filmed that right? Nobody passes up a Pabst... I'll see to that.

[fromthesidelines]

This is from Pabst's campaign in the spring of 1958, stresssing "over one hundred million barrels brewed since 1844".....Today, only ONE Pabst brewery continues to function- the main one in Milwaukee.

[TR5000]

What are you trying to say? Don't speak ill of Pabst.

[mrsbrown333]

by the looks of it, 59, 60, 0r 61. these look like my aunts and uncles when i was a kid, it was a lawrence welk-y spirit of the times back then.

[redneckpride4ever]

Yeah it was. I much prefer a country-style spirit.

[eekabostatic]

Any idea when this was?
