PBR is a great beer in the adjunct grain class. It wins taste competitions over and over. I can see why people might not like it, but if one is comparing it to the Budweisers of the world there is no equal. I think some people don't like it because of the perception of the people who drink it. Hipster got on the bandwagon because it is a cheap beer that tastes good and wasn't massively marketed. Agreed on all counts. Buyer just has to be beware in places where hipsters have driven up the cost. But if you can find it in a small town for some $1.50 pint special on tap its a good buy. Ugh. Pabst wins awards in its shitty category, which is a category filled with terrible beers. Hipsters have nothing to do with my hating it; I hate it because it tastes like garbage and it makes me feel hung over with terrible beer farts before I'm even drunk, much less waking up the next day.
