I thought about that, but the fact that it said “Blue Ribbon” made me think it was the same. This makes the whole thing a little more sensical.

I figured that we all have some self-awareness and we can probably deal with the fact that it’s sorta obv while still getting a kick out of it.

Why does this matter?

Pabst used to market itself as a nerve and digestion remedy, back in 1915.

- Tsingtao (yes, it’s better than what comes next)
- [Taiwan Beer, not actually available in the mainland AFAIK]
- Yanjing Beer (formerly branded as “Beijing Beer”, which is now a name used for some regional Asahi thing)
- HANGZHOU BEER. Avoid.

There are also a bunch of newer brands that I haven’t tried.
