Pabst Blue Ribbon Goes Global

Yes, I’ve found PBR in China. I thought at first it was dumb luck, but the Pabst goodness just keeps on flowin’. First it was the can, then the 22oz., and I’m happy to report that my local grocery store in my temporary home of Zhuhai sells 32 ouncers, for a dollar. They don’t even sell Bud Light! It’s like I’m back in high school at Plaid Pantry with my fake ID…but I’m in China. It makes sense though. China has perfected the brewing process to make their beer taste alright at room temperature. It might be because of the lack of refrigeration until the past 20 years? I don’t know. But I’m still asked if I want a warm or cold beer when I buy it! And Pabst is one of those warm or cold kind of beers. It all makes sense. Sorry Coors, your cold filtered nonsense won’t work here.

    Hi Danny, I came across your blog from the bootsnall homepage.

    I’d recommend a trip to Zhaoqing, it’s not too far from you (about a few hours by bus), a relaxing place with lots of great sites… plus a Pabst Brewery! When I was living there I met an American representative of Pabst who told me that the company is now 100% Chinese owned.

    Good luck finding a cold one!

    Danny! Thanks for writing all these awesome descriptions of everything you’ve seen. It’s practically like being there. Safe travels! Drink a cold (or warm) one for me! -Abs
