First off, I doubt any of could brew it. I may not like their product, but I respect the hell out out of their process. They've nailed every single aspect of their brewing down to a science. Just a guess, but for a home brewer, it would cost a hell of alot to get our equipment up to the point where we can even think about attempting it.

The second reason is one of "why?". Look, for the cost of ingredients, you could just buy him 3 cases of beer from the store. On our level of brewing (unless you buy grains by the pallet load, and hops in 50lb sizes) you can't brew a beer like this for a reasonable price.

The better question is "He likes PBR. What can I brew him that he would like?". Good god, the answers would have flooded in. Personally, I think a Blonde would be excellent. Nice and smooth, and it's an ale so you could have it done within 3 weeks.

Even in the lager category, we could help.

PBR clone? Just not worth it, my friend.



Like Garrett Oliver says, "light American Pilsners are like bread. The best Itallian Bakery in Brooklyn could not bake a loaf of Wonder Bread".
Not that they would want to, they just don't have the technology to do so. They might get close, but it would sure as hell be a lot better :wink:

Buffalo, eh? I'm pretty sure you don't care much for me. NO GOAL!!!!

Also, PBR is one of those hipster ironic beers now, innit?


Tell me his foot wasn't in the god damn crease. It may not be the rule now, but it was the rule then. I'm sorry if the refs wanted to go home, but the whole point of sports are people competing on a fair and open battleground.

Yes, we're still bitter.

Yes, many of our bridges have a fresh slogan of "No Goal" spray painted on them.

Hell, I was living in Texas (Austin) at the time, and I'm still pissed.

I tasted a 45 point american light lager at a recent competition. It was spectacular. 2nd best of show (losing only to the IPA that beat me in MBOS). As an unfiltered, fresh version of this product, I have to say, that kind of beer can taste good when done well. Would it be my first choice? No. But, obviously someone must have liked the flavor if the style developed, right? For those who say that it's not worth the cost of ingredients, I would say that nailing this style would be an excellent way to perfect your brewing skills, and one of the only ways you'll taste a beer of this style that actually tastes good.

You only think we smell like poo because we're taking a shit in your" whatever the fuck you're from" mouth. And you're loving it. Like a German pron star.


As for a Buffalonian abusing Texas....

Well, look, I lived in both places. In Texas, I lived next door to a drive through ammunition and liquor store. People up here don't believe a place like that could exist. It does. If I needed ammo and a bottle of Jack, holy fuck, I didn't need to get out of my car.

Fat, drunk and heavily armed is a good way to go through life, son.

Now, I give you guys props. Buffalo only killed Mckinley. You guys killed Kennedy. Advantage Texas.

I could give the classic defense at least we don't fuck our cousins, but let's face it. Your cousins are pretty hot, and they beat the hell out of fucking cattle like you assholes do the rest of the time.
