I was able to correctly identify Pabst Blue Ribbon beer in the blind taste test.
I have not yet been able to identify which is superior in taste. I'm pretty certain that's because neither of them is superior in taste. Although, according to Doug, all beer starts at an A- and can only go up from there...
Now we must break it down by category
Old Milwaukee
- Claims to be "America's best tasting beer" (seriously, that's what it says right there on the can)
- It's union made.
- Again, no preservatives!
- "All aluminium, please recycle" (here I am being encouraged to recycle)
- Made by Schlitz Brewing Company
Pabst Blue Ribbon beer
- Also union made
- America's best in 1893 (too bad that was 115 years ago)
- "Made from recyclable aluminum" (the can, not the beer, I assume)
- Made by Pabst Brewing Company
HOLD IT! This just in...
Doug just informed me that although one is made by Schlitz Brewing Company and the other is made by Pabst Brewing Company, they are located at the same P.O. Box in Milwaukee, Wisconsin (P.O. Box 739 to be exact).
He is now convinced that they're the same exact beer.
THE TEST IS OFF. I REPEAT. THE TEST IS OFF.

No, they use different bathtubs to make each.

"Union Made" means they are more interested in the working conditions of the brewers than the tasting conditions of the beer drinkers.
Git yerself some good, Republican beer.
I have no idea what that might be. I like Diet Coke. With, if the occasion merits, a little Malibu in there.
Blue Moon actually tastes like beer. Pabst tastes like nasty carbonated something or other.
hey! here is the site i was talking about where i made the extra $800 last month, checkit out... the site is here
I think you folk are deluded in the US. You have pretend beer. Of course, here the men are men and the sheep are afraid.
This is so funny. It reminds me of the water taste test Andrew made me take. I told him bottled water tastes better than the tap water we have here in town. I also stated that I really like Fiji water, but I refuse to buy it in bulk because it's expensive. He poured one glass of tap, one of Fiji, and one of another bottled water and I was able to correctly identify them all. (Winnemucca tap water was easy because it tastes like dirt and I'm pretty sure you can see floaties in it. Yuck!)
Yuck!!
Although I will say that the best beer I ever had in my life was a warm PBR that was sitting in the back of a pickup truck for a week... I drank it in one shot after hiking up the Grand Canyon, river to rim, in one afternoon with a sixty pound pack. However, I am fairly certain that, at that stage, goat piss would have been the best beer of my life.
C:)
LOL! It's been a long time since I've had either of those beers. I agree, with Doug. Beer's the best!
Christine ~ What is good Republican beer? I definitely need some of that.
pinkpuffysleeves ~ Blue Moon is good. However, when it comes to having money to do projects or buy beer, we weren't willing to not have any beer at all so we've opted to drink the sludge instead.
Sounds like Doug already did the taste test by himself! ;) lol!
Lol, this whole post was quite entertaining but the ending was hilarious!
Alright I am disgusted, I am sure budget minded people with diy projects can drink better beer then that weasel piss! Christ as I write this I halh a 1/4 barrell of sam adams in my kegorator, just comeover here Ill send ya home with a gallon or two right off the tap
big d ~ oh man...Doug will be jealous to know that you have a kegerator. That is on our list of things we "must have". Eventually...
Hahahaha That's awesome! They both suck, but in different cans!
They're just trying to corner the market on cheap beer.
I'm going to have to conduct my own taste test. It will, of course, involve many additional brands and will probably end in a tie at the end of the night too.
haha, a good 'republican' beer. that's good stuff.
i like rolling rock, myself.
Has Doug ever indulged in a Colt 45? That might change his grading scale. I suggest Coors Light -- it's a glorious staple beer in my house. ~Scrappy
A taste test between those two beers is sort of like a taste test between Aquafina that's been pissed in and tap water that's been pissed in. There is no difference and there is no point in even holding the taste test.
Okay, blue moon for special occasions, meaning almost never, but watch for the sales on beer. It happens. Don't drink that malty water! It's almost a party foul!
Holy shit, I'm chucking like crazy over here. I LOVE that your hubs actually examines the beer closely enough to notice the PO Box number. Classic.
I think they are made at the same place, one is just stirred more.
Beer bong? In our country, we also have a beer company that makes 2 kinds of beers - although one is the original product and one is legally acquired from other company. Maybe it's that case..or...
Anyhow, Doug and you are so funny. Really fun.
ewww...I am so NOT a beer person but even I know both of those = yucky!!
Ew. Come to Canada for some real beer :)
Heee!
In our house, we always have PBR on hand, but we also have a kegerator with either Spaten Optimator or one of our many favorite versions of Leinenkugels. (As an aside, thanks to our construction, the kegerator is currently located in the LIVING ROOM. Ahem.)
My parents are Bud Light People, so when they come to visit, they can't understand why their choice is between PBR or something really dark and German. We try to explain that if you aren't drinking something really really good, you might as well drink PBR.
We have no grey area when it comes to beer. But at our last party, the PBR was gone first. This tells me that we invited way too many hipsters.
In conclusion, you should put a kegerator in your living room so that I don't feel so odd.
jane ~ if Doug knew that a kegerator in the living room was an option, it would be installed, um, yesterday.
