Question

How do I make my own Pabst Blue Ribbon that tastes like the real thing? I want hundreds of gallons?

Answer 1

Please tell me this is a joke.  You can't seriously think you can make beer identical to PBR (I won't even bother with the "why would you WANT PBR?" question.).

Answer 2

This is a pretty cheap beer to begin with, but if you must brew it yourself i found this clone recipe.
