That booze shaped like a rifle is "Tommy Gun Vodka" and it is actually very expensive. But hilarious.

Pabst has no breweries. It's nothing more than a business that contracts out their beers, a "virtual" brewer. Pabst owns PBR, Old Style, Schlitz, Stroh, Schmidt, Ballantine and a number of other former "big name" regional and national beers. Pabst owns the labels but almost all their beers are contract-brewed by Miller.

Think of it this way, maybe all the white belts will move to Woodbridge for their Pabst. I'm sure they think like Guinness the Pabst is better the closer you are to the plant.

the liquor store just west of beat kitchen is Miska's, and I can't say if they have six packs of schlitz because i've never looked, but they do have an amazing variety of random russian and polish beers (as well as something that looks like a bottle of tequila shaped like a rifle in the front window).

i drink pbr because it is the cheapest beer at most venues (except sub-t where schlitz is $2.00). and whomever was looking for schlitz, they sell it at the liquor store on belmont just west of the beat kitchen.

Curm, you can tell the cheapsters from the hipsters as the cheapsters are wearing the latest wal-mart fashions and the hipsters are wearing someone else's clothes that were left at their pad after an all night party. But other than that, they are synonomous.

Are the people drinking PBR hipsters or cheapsters? Or are the terms synonomous?

It's 2.00 dollars a pint almost anywhere in the city. 20 bucks will get you 10 beers and 2,500 calories.

it's a fact: pbr is usually the cheapest beer at most bars. i really don't know why everyone acts like its some sort of ridiculous hipster trend.

Um, Pabst Blue Ribbon has long been a drink of the hoi polloi. Hipsters and the post frat crowd simply made it more fashionable for those who aren't parking lot burnouts or their working class stiff parents.

Lots of beer news today with the announcement of the new beer from Goose Island (Honkers) / (Anheuser-Busch) Budweiser, which will be called "Bonkers Ale". Can't wait to try!
