So, remember a couple weeks back I told you the story of how Big Life Blonde (a beer served at Moxie’s) was supposedly Pabst Blue Ribbon? Well, on a lark, I picked up some Pabst this afternoon to put it to the test. The first observation was pretty encouraging — it’s brewed in Guelph, ON. The second test provided mixed results. It tastes much like I remember Big Life tasting, but I didn’t have a lemon wedge for the full effect. It also tastes American — a little weak. So, my verdict is I think it’s probably the same stuff. Not a stellar beer, but good cold (better with a wedge of lemon) and for the price, I certainly didn’t get ripped-off. Never the less, I think I’ll stick with something dark and thick for the rest of the season — maybe a nice London Porter.
