Country music listeners aren't exactly Pabst Blue Ribbon's key demo.

And they don’t drink Bud light anymore ever since Budweiser treated a trans person as a person who has a right to exist.

Yeah, it needed to be some bud heavies or whatever piss flavor water they are drinking. I think the creator picked Pabst because of the colors

Following the Chicago fire and the destruction of their breweries, Milwaukee breweries were able to step up to provide the masses with beer. Transporting the beer on ships traversing lake Michigan breweries like Best were able to grow and expand.

Philip Best only had daughters, one of them married a ship captain that had worked on the transport ships. He ended up more or less running the brewery. Out of appreciation for his contribution in 1889 they renamed the brewery Pabst Brewing Company after Captain Pabst.

The company also was a successful cheese producer and the cheese side was eventually bought out by Kraft.

I never noticed the way the guy on the right reacts when Hopper yells Heineken. Either that was unscripted or he acted it out way more energetically than anyone thought he would.

omg thank you for pointing that out. I'm pretty sure Hopper was just playing himself in that movie, I'm sure that guy's reaction was genuine.

The woman averts her head from the camera at the same time.
