    The Bull & Castle stocks it, so I'm sure it's out there. If not, the B&C does takeaway beers too.

    One of the american lager giants from the mid west. That gained favour with hipster as it was/is usual one of the cheapest American pilsners and it also count-count culture to drink a blue collar beer.

    The only tip I'd give is to try a nice beer. PBR is woeful.

    It doesn’t seem to be available in Ireland at the moment. Distribution issues.

    Thank you for the information - am a bit surprised to hear that because of https://www.newstalk.com/news/cc-signs-distribution-deal-with-iconic-us-beer-company-625680

    I have been to Sweeneys, Tesco Phibsborough, another off licence in Phibsborough, O'Briens in Glasnevin and none have it. :(

    The article is 4 years old, if a beer doesn't shift (and there would've been a lot of stock to shift) then it's quickly dropped. PBR hasn't been imported since then, I'd say only 1 or 2 shipments were taken before C&C realised it wasn't going to work.

    Honestly it's just another bland tasteless American lager, in a blind taste test you wouldn't be able to tell the differ between it and Budwieser
