What a great story containing an inner truth. Cheap beer is for people 
who've worked physically hard all day and who are rewarded very little 
for it, but who could to benefit from a little daily pleasure. That 
little pleasure isn't so great for people who drive desks all day. An 
ice cold PBR in the hands of a construction worker is a wholesome thing. 
A PBR in the hands of a hipster trying to show how down he is with "the 
people"... not so much. Beauty may be in the eyes of the beholder but 
authenticity cannot be manufactured. It's kind of ridiculous for 
computer geeks to debate the relative wretchedness or awesomeness of PBR 
as we don't have the faculties for properly recognizing those merits.
