'HEINEKEN?! *beep* THAT SH!T!'


"PABST! BLUE! RIBBON!"

But Heineken actually does taste better than Pabst Blue Ribbon, and I'd say that to Frank, even if he'd send me a love letter.

Sadly, BBR is now on the list of "beers to be avoided" due to its GMO ingredients.

Won't be missed. None of the beers on that list are ones I regularly enjoy. I only recently tried Pabst Blue Ribbon, and Guinness was just something I'd have whenever I was at a bar.

Flying Dog contains none of those things, and it is a better beer than any of those brands on that list. High alcohol content; great bitter taste; I love me sum FLYIN' DAWWWWWWWG

I know, how dare companies want to use better crops! I'll stick with my organic beer thank you very much, it tastes bad and it's $5 a bottle but I don't poison my body.

I brew the beer I drink.

I don't think serious beer drinkers should be deterred by the prospect of blindness, insanity and death. Frank ends up scoring two out of three in this film anyway.
I had a few Guinnesses in Paris in September, so it's too late now. I probably should have gone for absinthe.

My favorite line for sure in the movie. I know it's the easy one, but it's the best one.

Oh, I love a picnic. Acres and acres of sand and all of it in your food.

reply

Haha. I just watched this movie for the first time a few months ago. That line was the best. I always imagined it as something Lynch just threw in as a joke.

reply

Best line in the movie.

I've never had PBR but Heineken is vile.

reply

About the same year Ronnie Reagan started stumbling around the White House, Heineken invested in a gigantic ad campaign introducing this swill in the US. Bourgeois yuppies everywhere sucked it up, while beer drinkers in Europe laughed their asses off. It was then and still is the piss of Europe.

The old PBR, when it was still PBR, was drinkable, in a country before micro-brews. Wasn't much choice then. Today's reformulated corporate descendent is weird.

Yes but it still has the same label and it's still cheap.

reply

Its usually the cheapest option at most bars around my area. Worth drinking if I'm not feeling very picky or deep-pocketed, but not really otherwise.

reply

>It was then and still is the piss of Europe.

Well PBR is the piss of America, so the comparison is fair.

reply

Beer in general is the piss of the world

reply

Heineken is usually skunky. Don't buy bottled beer unless it is in a brown bottle.

reply

Did Pabst Blue Ribbon pay for product placement, to have such a fine, upstanding role model as Frank pronounce their beer superior to all competitors?

Is this where all those Hipsters decided that PBR was to be the "hip" beer?
