Pabst Blue Ribbon (PBR) is an American lager beer, known for its light body, crisp taste, and often associated with a working-class or hipster image. It has a long history, first brewed in 1844, and gained popularity for its affordability and distinct blue ribbon on the label.
Luckily this was at a time when when Paps Blue Ribbon was a buck 50.
""The speaker mentions "Paps Blue Ribbon" (Pabst Blue Ribbon) as a cheap beer they drank frequently when they were a "barfly" and later when discussing why they drank to get "f***ed up" rather than for taste."
