    Well...it was a few years ago. The hipsters attached themselves to PBR to rebel against the craft movement and to be "ironic". Nowadays, only wannabe hipsters drink PBR, the real hipsters have switched to either High Life or Tecate.

    I hate myself for knowing this, BTW.

    It's funny. Miller High Life was always hip to me. :beer:

    I've been drinking the High Life since my first year on the block. If I dare see a hipster drinking one they are getting a beat down.

    If High Life is their drink of choice, does owning this belt buckle make me a hipster?

    High Life is a great beer. Stupid hipsters need to find something else to drink that actually sucks and people don't care about. Like Milwaukee's Best or Busch Light. Or go hang with Clinton and the Illinois rednecks in Fulton County and drink Old Milwaukee Light.

    Leave The Champagne of Beers alone. :mad:

    High Life in the bottle isn't bad. It's horrid in the can for some reason.

    You don't see much PBR around here. Some of the beer snobs think it's a craft beer because it's so rare.

    My fishing buddy is worth 7 figures a few times over and he drinks Genny...I give him **** to no end. Ruining the beer market for the working class....PBR is like liquid fuzzy cold snot in a can. The EPA should look into it...
    Life is way to short to drink bad beer...

    Yeh yeah.... I've seen this type of con before. In Vietnam they tried to convince us that the rusty Ballentine beer cans were just as good as Schlitz when they had nothing else to sell us. It was terrible unjust punishment for my troops to have to endure such crap. I finally got the situation straight when I happened to kill a North Vietnamese paymaster toting $45,000 in South Vietnamese Pee to pay off the local cadre. I turned some in, had my scrounger take the rest to town and convert it to MPC. He got about $8500. WE there in ended up with enough money to give my troops free beer forever and buy by the truck load when they had the good stuff. My people never bought another beer or soda.

    and

    I've been drinking High Life Light for years, probably 20 or so, and enjoy it much more than regular High Life, and it's good in a can or a bottle. Actually pulled my dad and brother over to High Life Light from Bud Light way back. As far as PBR goes, it's okay when it's a $1 for a 16oz. draft at Applebee's, but beyond that, no thanks. All that being said, I currently have Miller Lite, Yuengling, and Labatt in the fidge.....

    I drank High Life Light for awhile. Apparently I didn't drink enough of it, everyplace in my town stopped selling it. I do see it in a 30 pack in CVS ads occasionally.

    have not touched a big three beer (Bud, Coors, Miller) or a cheapo one since my first duty assignment to germany 1992-95. i got hooked to beer with flavor and color rather than just the colored water a majority of these big three beers are. nowadays it seems the price really doesn't matter much since they are dang near 9.00 a 6-pack here. i'll stick to my sam adams or shiner bock

    Drink some Hamms, Steel Reserve, Strohs or the Cheers labeled beer and get back to me. High Life isn't bad.
