I need different peoples advice on this question for my essay.
"Why are middle age kids from ages 20-30 drinking Pabst and having it to become more popular in our present life?"

| i'll throw in my 2cents on this one, its good and its cheap! another reason as i see it is, when they were younger kids,like all of us, they thought their father was uncool so they thought his pbr was uncool, but as we grew older we found out our dads weren't the dorks we thought they were, so we took some of their advice and tried pbr and we liked it. now we know the old man and his old man wre cooler than we thought.

| I think there are several reasons for the resurgence of Pabst. Not just in the 20 to 30 year old range. There is a huge movement that definitely drink Pabst because their old man drank Pabst. That is how I got started. Hell my great grannie drank Pabst. It is a family tradition. There is also a youth subculture that started in the late 80's/early 90's who are now adults. These folks are tired of conspicuous consumption and all the flashy advertising that defined the 80's. I think the main cause Pabst lost a big part of their market share in the 70's was due to a lack of advertising. This same lack of advertising may have something to do with it's new popularity. I see ads everywhere for all kinds of beer. Sam Adams is running huge tv commercials all over the country, yet there isn't a bar I can find that sells the crap. Hell you can't even find coors in most of the bars I drink in. You know what you can find in all of them? PABST!!! From reading the postings from folks in other parts of the country I gather Pabst can be kinda hard to find. This makes me sad. I've got four bars in four blocks of my place that have Pabst. I can name another dozen in San Francisco. My market down the street has 12 pack cans for 5.49. I consider myself lucky that's for sure. The simplest answer though is, Pabst is good beer at a great price. Why would anyone pay more for anything else. Sounds like you have a lot of research ahead of you. Get out there and ask them yourself. You might make some friends, and friends buy you beer.

| Something to consider for your essay would be that Pabst is union made and some of the people who drink it like to support the honest hard working people who bring us Pabst to enjoy.

| The popularity of brew pubs has created a huge market of beer drinkers who now demand TASTE. We all have our old standards from our younger, more foolish days and fall back on them merely from a cost standpoint. After all, if we could all afford the micro-brews all the time, we'd drink them all the time. (this is simply stated, I realize ales are heavier and not good for session drinking) But when one gets past the stigma of PBR being "my ol' man's beer", he tries it, and discovers TASTE. I could yammer on, but you get the jist.

| pabst tastes good and is relatively cheap even though a 12 pack has risen in price 20 cents the past month. plus its an american staple unlike the belgian made budweiser which is way overpriced and really has less taste than pabst. pabst is beer for the blue collar worker which most of us are.

I'm actually the geek that my 22 year-old stepson told to switch to PBR. I admit, I was an avid Bud drinker and there were only about three other brands I would touch. Coors tastes too muck like "the water" - Only Asians drink Heineken and Corona has got to be the worse tasting beer in history... well, it IS from Mexico (' ');
So, I'm at the grocery store with him picking up party items and I have the Bud in my cart. He tells me that "anyone who is anybody in Southern California drinks PBR..." A What? --- PBR --- Now beer has nicknames. Tried it, now I like it. He changed my beer outlook forever. Thanks, Kid!
The proof in your 20-30 year old theory has been explained. It's "Anyone who is Anybody drinks PBR."
"A man's true character comes out when he's drunk."

| Good beer, good price. Especially love the genuine draft. It's the beer I grew on as a kid in Milwaukee.
