I saw someone today I'm sure Devin would love

Old guy. Grandfather type. In the line next to me at the supermarket. He was wearing a pretty cool Che t-shirt that said avoid imperialism. That's what caught my attention. Then I noticed he was wearing it with Nike shorts and I laughed out load. Bonus: he had one of those thread type necklaces that the surfer kids wear and not just sandals but flip flops. I wish I had a camera.

Did he have a cell phone on his belt? It's nothing without that.

Did he have a John Deere trucker hat (TM)?

Some kid came into my store the other day wearing a John Deere trucker hat, and I said something about it... then he made me look outsider and he was actually a landscaper with two John Deere lawnmowers in the back of his haul. It was awkward.

I always love it when hippies when Che t-shirts. To me, given that they tend to be pacifists (I don't have anything against pacifists, I am one), that makes it more ironic than wearing it with Nike brand shorts. An aging hipster wearing it and brand shorts... that's just gold.

If only he was on his belt-clipped cell phone talking about his plans to go eat at Olive Garden later, this picture would be complete.

I didn't see a cell phone, but I pictured a Star Trek blue tooth clipped to his ear. I was too shocked to look at his groceries. Probably some PBR in there too.

What's a PBR (aside from "professional bull riding", which isn't very crack-open-able)?

Hipster cachet aside, I've always found PBR to be in one of those "price/tastiness" sweet spots. Cheap but fairly enjoyable.*


* - I tend towards the snooty, yuppie-type import/micros myself. Though there is this stuff around here called "Mountain Creek" that does the job nicely for about $2.30 a sixer.* Frugality is a virtue.

To be fair, at least in California, Hamm's tends to nudge out PBR as the preferred drink of hipsters. I think the inherent cheapness of the brand lends itself to their all encompassing need to experience joy only through irony.

$2.30 for a sixer? I'm pretty sure Natural Light costs more than that around here, but I never buy that crap so I wouldn't know.

Around here the best tasting beer for the best price is usually Yuengling.

That must be a NorCal thing because I've never heard of Hamm's. I've heard of Steel Reserve, Modelo, Old English and Mickey's. But not Hamm's.

Night Flight: the beer that will haunt your dreams and clean your colon.

And PBR is definitely a New York hipster thing. Never even heard of Hamms over here.

Around these parts hipsters became self-aware some time last year and moved on to Old Style beer in a sad attempt to avoid detection. Yet they all still ride their fixed-gears to the liquor stores and bars, making them just as easy to spot.

And if you drink Old Milwaukee I'd suggest you give Milwaukee's Best a try. Milwaukee's Best Ice is the stuff legends are made of. Horrible, vomit covered legends.

It's all about PBR in LA. My usual hipster haunts sell pints of it for way cheap. I have a case in my fridge right now. I love when you can save money and be cool at the same time.

I didn't even know they made a Milwaukee's Best Ice! I gotta find a liquor store around here that sells that. MB is the beer pong beer of choice at this house. Its cheaper than Miller and Bud, and it tastes better.

Here in Michigan, it was/is Pfeiffer's. When I was at GVSU, a case of longnecks went for $9.10. Thirty-eight cents a bottle was damn fine for most of the students there, even if the contents tasted like skunk. I also remember Altes ("The Fassbier") and Black Label being hot. PBR is just starting to make inroads with the underage group in my hometown, I guess owing to nostalgia on the part of the parents that buy for their kids.

Old Mil was the poison of choice at my college. Well, not really of choice - it was cheap so that's what all the people who held house parties bought. I worked for a Bud distributor, so we were "high rollers" what with our kegs of Busch Light.

Oh god, they still make Hamm's? I was sure the authoriities would've done something about that by now.

Has anybody ever had Wiedemann's? I think that's how you spell it. Me and a friend got a case of it one night for like less than five bucks. We got what we paid for.

I think around here Miller High Life is becoming the new PBR, and I can't figure out why. It's fucking cheap, I get that, but the hipsters have glommed onto it as well.

At Utica college, my alma mater, Old Mil, the Beast and a couple local brews - Matt's & Utica Club, or UC - were the top contenders. Someone once said "Matt's is bottom of the barrel. UC is wrung from the mud UNDER that barrel." Pretty much sums it up. Worst. Beer. Ever. Also popular was the erstwhile Old Vienna (oddly, a Canadian beer; go figure). Came in 24 packs of slim 7 oz. bottles called splits. Ah, if I only had a nickel for every OV split. . . . oh, wait. They have bottle deposits in NY State. I DID get a nickel for every OV split. . . Still wasn't worth it.

Yes, they do. Behold, Hamm's, the beer of choice of hipsters and half and fully crazed beggars in Berkeley, CA. Oddly, the internet informs me that Pabst is the current brewer of Hamm's... so the hipsters here do have brand loyalty. Fucking perfect. HAHAHA.

Pabst isn't really the current brewer of Hamms - those two brands, Strohs, and the Heileman family (Old Style, Special Ex, Old Mil) were all bought up by the Kalmanovitz Brothers (slash-and-burn corporate raiders) who pretty much got rid of all physical assets, and several of those brands are currently brewed under contract by Miller Brewing.

I'm usually drinking Guinness, Foster's, or Heineken beer-wise, but I've had legendary nights with Iron City, Busch, and Old Milwaukee.

Only non-name beer that frightened me was back in '89 during Spring Break at Daytona Beach. Went with a buddy on a food/beer run and we saw Fred's Beer... $1.00 a CASE. No way in hell was I risking that.

$1.00 a case? That had to have been pure concentrated urine for that price.

Dollar a case? 5 bucks could have sustained me for a weekend. I like almost all beer. Typically though if it is less than $7.00 for 12, I'm a drinkin' it. Here in Seattle (depending on store) that means Pabst, Schmidt, Rainier, Olympia, Black Label, Lucky Lager, Hamm's, Schlitz (but only at that gypsy mini mart down by the warehouses), Old Milwaukee, Milwaukee's Best, Miller High Life, and Busch. Budweiser is a couple bucks more but I'll go there too.

Basically, the American brewing culture is just now beginning to resemble what it was pre-prohibition.
