Pabst Coming Back(st)?
Published by Al Adomite on August 12th, 2008
Why is it that a kid never forgets the beer his grandpa drank? For me, Pabst beer was that great unknown of my childhood, the beer the older family members drank when I was served Kool-Aid.
Diane Meyer points out a few good items, now that the Belgians own A-B:
Now that Bud is owned by the Belgians, Pabst is the largest American owned brewery. And it’s not by default either. They’ve taken over many regional beer companies and now own what a Salon story calls, “many of the best known, mediocre breweries in the country.” These are locally popular budget beers like Stroh’s, Old Milwaukee, Lone Star, etc, etc.
Why is it, when my neighbor and I complete a mowing of our yards, we now reach for a Stag?

You’re showing your contempt for the unfair and anti-workers practices of Illinois Distributing, your a good man Al, thanks for the support.

Don’t know much about the Illinois Distributing issue, just like that Stag beer. You know what they say, Steak, Taters And Gravy. Sugar-free as beer can be. The “golden” delicious.
(I actually had no idea that Stag was a Pabst-owned product until I visited their website today.)
I do like the fact that it’s American-owned, and that there’s such a rich history of Stag beer in our area.
