What's "PBR"?

"Now there's the rub. Like trucker hats and PBR, what started as a bike messenger thing has become a fashion statement and status symbol."

I was going to ask that yesterday,
I think it's a bottled beer?

Hey Roberto, Cheers!

fuck knows what it's like..

Its a cheap nasty beer that sailors used to drink. Drinking this crap is a sure sign that you value style over substance.

It's all about style! ;)

Ice cold PBR out of a longneck... Mmm... Delicious...
My beer of choice in the US...
You can't buy it in the UK, can you?

I've not seen it and I'm an alcoholic so I would assume 'no'. You could probably order it, though why you'd want to..

we get enough rubbish beer here as it is.

why anyone would drink red stripe when there's a city full of europe's finest lagers is an oddity
why anyone would chose boddingtons or john smiths over the hundreds of cask conditioned beers and real ales is an oddity..

why people go to a club and drink alcopops is just fucking stupidity

I'm more of a Ricard man...

RPM we get enough rubbish beer here as it is.

Yes, but the signal to noise in beers here is much better than some places cough Oz.
To answer the second and third points.. sometimes RS and JS are the best of a bad bunch.
Alcopops are for girls or the image obsessed. Apologies to all the beer-drinking graphic designers on here ;)

exactly, routine off license trip, head over to the fridge, quick scan - fosters/stella/budweiser/becks/heineken/red stripe. it's obvious which one to go for.

i'm a beer drinking graphic designer and i don't mind that... for what i know i don't do trendy flashy type shit (they're mostly ugly and ill conceived), i hate hype and style over substance i'm no nathan barley. don't get me started on how bad typography was in my year when i was in college...

anyway, back to the booze. what's alcopops by the way?

i think there is no better reason to drink PBR than the following:

5 for $10 in the last bar i was in in new york. in pounds that's like 10p at the current exchange.

lpg it doesn't matter what you wear, it's all about how fast you can go...

But you can go faster if you wear the right gear. So you mean it's all about how fast you can go relative to the aerodynamic properties of your current attire.

Do you think a mullet blowing behind you in the breeze would act in the same way as a spoiler on a sports car?

Only if it was a red mullet... :-S

PBR on draught for $2 a pint at the Buccaneer in Memphis...
Graphic designer/photog note: Even cheaper at the Lamplighter and you may even bump into Wild Bill Eggleston powdering his nose in the 'bathroom'...
