Pabst is my beer of choice. Major difference I can taste between Pabst and BMC is that Pabst taste's like beer and the rest taste like water and piss. The only others I really go for are either Rainer or Olympia.
If Bud, Miller, and Coors are plain old horse piss, Pabst is what I imagine unicorn piss must taste like.

PBR is no better than BMC. It's just trendy hipster swill.
Can't even get PBR on tap here...Hard to drink Pbr when you can go to a bar and see this.
mwesle said:i'm kinda upset after reading all these posts. I love my home brews those of my friends. I think they are some of the best beers i have ever tasted. But pabst, old style, old milwaukee, high life, schlitz.......these are the beers of my home state (wi) and are the beers that i "grew" up on. These are the beers that introduced me to the world of beer. Do i drink them all the time? Well no. But i think they deserve some respect. Tonight i didn't have any home brew that was ready to drink. So i went to the grocery store and looked for an old stand bye. And i'm proud to say i'm drinking a pbr as i write this. So please have a little respect for the beers that have helped given me a love for beer. I love all beer especially the home brew, but show a little respect for all those good old beers.

20 Gallon All-grain (75% Efficiency - 1.036 - 9 IBU):
20 lbs Belgian Pilsner
4.5 lbs Rice (cereal mashed - I use Kokohu because it's cheap and tasty)

90 min - 0.55 oz Styrian Aurora 8.5% AA (~5 IBU)
15 min - 0.75 oz Styrian Aurora 8.5% AA (~4 IBU)
You can really use any noble hops. Tettnanger is probably my favorite, but the AA% has been far too low for bittering lately.

5.5 gallon Extract (1.039 - 9 IBU):
4 lbs Briess Dry Pilsner Malt Extract
1 lbs Dry Rice Solids
Partial Boil at 3.5 gallons. For a full boil, reduce 90 minute hops by 25-30%
90 min - 1.5 oz Hersbrucker 1.5% AA (7.5 IBU)
15 min - 0.5 oz Hersbrucker 1.5% AA (1.5 IBU)
