Pabst is just a label owned by Miller. I think Miller has been bought by a South African company. Back in the day, Pabst, Schlitz, G.L. Heileman, Miller, Stroh et al, were all individual companies. At some point Heileman was bought out by Stroh and then Stroh was bought by Pabst. Eventually, Miller bought Pabst. From what I understand, PBR is brewed in San Antonio (San Antonio!...Get a rope), and it is brewed under the Miller name. If you get a keg of PBR is will say "Miller Brewing Company." The history is basically true; it is hard to keep the chronology of who bought what and when. I'm a bit fuzzy on it b/c it was told to me by a bar tender in Milwaukee. My whole trip to Milwaukee is fuzzy. That is one drunk town. I loved it.

Regardless, I drink PBR b/c I've been drinking it since high school. I've been drinking it since high school b/c it is ****off good. Furthermore, PBR = the People's Beer for the Revolution!
