Appears the owner of the diner we frequent for breakfast during BBB is also a pirate!

I have to say, I'm with him. Some basic concepts here 1. He is trying to not lose what he worked thirty years to build up and also to keep his employees afloat. 2. No one is FORCED to go eat there, it is free choice an exercise of individual rights and a willingness to live with the consequences of that choice.
There were three more points. I eliminated them because of the "no politics" rule here, but if you think about it you probably can get them.
He's a hero of mine! And I will spend my money there for breakfast or lunch anytime. He's figured out what the solution is while the talking heads in Trenton are befuddled! I'll raise my mug of PBR in his honor!!

Don't even get me started! In Va. we have about 2,400 deaths from 'the Rona' over 62% of them are in nursing homes or correctional facilities. How did a lockdown help them? The vast majority of the rest were seniors with co morbid problems which is the population always at risk for disease. I am a senior, thus am mindful of observing good protocols. Meanwhile businesses are closing for good, folks are unable to pay rent or mortgages, ...like I said don't even get me started. I have observed that the folks making the rules are not losing their jobs.
On another 'Rona' note our ETOH consumption is reaching new levels! You know you are stepping up the beer consummation when the garbage guys leave an AA flyer on your recycling bin!
...oh am only drinking local brews to help keep them going, and Bob, PBR is made in LosAngeles and owned by a Russian compony!
Wikipedia's article on Pabst is interesting. It is not owned by a Russian company, although Eugene Kashper, the American entrepreneur who is its chairman, was born in Russia and brought to the US by his parents at six years old.
Pabst has no brewing facilities; all of its beer is brewed by Miller Coors under contract.

Hey Wes, this is where my info came from:
"Oasis Beverages, which is based in Russia, said on Friday it's signed a deal to acquire Pabst Brewing Company, which is headquartered in Los Angeles. Pabst traces its roots to 1844 and owns a number of well-known American beer brands, including Pabst Blue Ribbon, Old Milwaukee, Schlitz and the malt liquor Colt 45." (from Money.com article 9/19/2014) Maybe ownership has changed again.
Meanwhile what appears to be the actual case about who is/was brewing PBR and what is next.

Regardless PBR is very much like our boat....next to water! Meanwhile thread drift is occurring so scroll up a oupcle posts all to find out the actual subject! More important than who brews PBR!
I have observed that the folks making the rules are not losing their jobs.
Mas got number three.
Sorry for the thread drift, but I thought pbr (lower case like it's "taste") was pumped from the bilges of ocean going tankers. So why Bob, if this restaurant owner is your hero, wouldn't you show some respect and raise something palatable?
I'll hang up and wait for an answer. Make it a good one Bob!
I raise my glass of Don Hulio 1942 tequila to you all! Ole`!!!! And it's off to the Lakeside Diner!!
Carl, Ocean going tanker bilges are generally clean. Why drag our Merchant Marine to the pbr depths?
Resentfully,
TG
