Pabst Blue Ribbon Beer Memorabilia
This post is a nod to a famous Milwaukee beer that for some reason has managed to stand the test of time, Pabst Blue Ribbon. Just how has a mediocre tasting beer (okay, just my opinion, stand down all you PBR die-hards) managed to remain so relevant?
What is now considered a hipster beer, is instead to many of us, a nostalgic beer.

Traci and Staci Mautz, circa 1973 |
It was the brew of our fathers and grandfathers. It filled their coolers on fishing trips and stocked their fridges for football games. The pull tabs ripped off from its pre-aluminum cans were scattered throughout parking lots and campsites, left behind like land mines for the barefooted. It was our first sips of beer. It was cheap, easy-drinking, and felt patriotic with its red, white and blue packaging.
So with that, I give you a collection of Pabst memorabilia. These are all items that were uncovered inside the tavern - none of which would be any newer than 1978.
May you find comfort in its blue ribbon. Enjoy!
