This is just Sad:

OH NOT! NOT PBR!!!!

Pabst Blue Ribbon — my beer, your beer, America’s beer — is now in the hands of the Russians.

In broad daylight the other day, a Russian brewery — Oasis Beverages — wandered within our borders and bought those red-white-and-blue PBR cans for $700 million, cash.

It should be noted that an American private equity firm, TSG Consumer Partners, is backing Oasis with a minority stake. How is this not grounds for treason?

God, is a PBR embargo next?????

    I prefer a stronger beer, like Evian.

  3. Being raised in Michigan, I was raised on PBR. If you went into the bar where my Dad and I hung out and asked for a beer, if you didn’t specify, you got a PBR. When I went in the Marines, that was the cheapest beer at the BX, $1.25 a six pack. Now I have a sad.
