Seattle Bar Owner Dumps The Rest Of His Pabst In The Street After Hearing PBR Sold To The Russians
Last week, we learned the red commies across the map bought American icon Pabst Brewing. While it may not have tasted the best, it was American owned, which gave it superiority over any foreign beer. The reaction across the states has been that of disgust. Peter Levy, the owner of 5 Spot, a restaurant in Seattle, shared the same disgust that we all had when he heard the news.
5 Spot has been proudly serving the iconic American beer for a quarter of a century. That all ended on Friday. Levy has decided he does not want to support the pockets of any Russian beer maker. Instead of selling the rest of the Pabst on hand, he took it one step further by just dumping the rest of it.
From My Northwest:
Levy was out on the sidewalk of his Queen Anne eatery Friday, pouring all of his Pabst on hand down the drain.
“I just don’t want to pad Putin’s pockets. My guess is that for every beer we sell, a penny would end up in Vlad’s pocket,” he tells KIRO Radio.
In all, he figures about $800 worth of beer went down the drain Friday afternoon.
He’s a true American by sticking it to Putin. Fuck Russia.

11 years ago at 3:40 pmBoulevard is the real idiot here… The first line of the source article says “For the past 25 years” and he can’t distinguish between decade and century when writing his article.
11 years ago at 4:10 pmOf all beers the Ruskies could overtake, they chose Pabst.
How dare they
11 years ago at 3:35 pmThat’s a damn shame. One of my go to lines was “PBR tastes like George Washington fighting the Redcoats marching down your throat.” There goes that.
11 years ago at 3:36 pmIf you’re lucky enough to be in their distribution area, insert Yuengling where PBR used to be.

11 years ago at 9:23 pmThe bar is in Seattle. I have a feeling that not many fraternity men are hanging around.
11 years ago at 10:28 amCan we crowdfund a buyback of the brewery?
11 years ago at 3:53 pmI don’t see why not. It worked really well for the Total Frat Movie.
11 years ago at 5:32 pmplus, this is an actual cause.
11 years ago at 10:15 pmWash away the sadness of PBR going to the commies with more alcohol
11 years ago at 4:12 pmWhat’s really fucked is that California has more communists than Russia.
11 years ago at 10:11 pmThanks Obama
11 years ago at 4:24 pmMotion to repurpose the TFM Movie Budget to purchase Pabst Brewing back from the Commies. TFM Beer will make more money than that fucking movie anyway.
11 years ago at 4:38 pmTFM movie still has a budget??
