After what seemed like a decade, but could more easily be measured in weeks, PBR was off of the tap at the Berkshire in Stapleton. “It was really hard,” said resident Kevin Vogel. “It is a great, local place to eat and drink, and losing a top notch, award winning beer definitely stung me a little bit.” Many residents counted on their late afternoon or evening PBRs at the Berk. “It’s just so American to enjoy a PBR with bacon,” said resident and frequent Berkshire customer Rob Hodges. “So, when PBR was gone, I felt like so was a little bit of America.”
There are conflicting reports on why the World’s Greatest Beer first left the Berk, but what is clear is that it had nothing to do with Berkshire management not appreciating the refreshing taste of the great American lager. “What’s in the past is in the past,” said owner Andy Ganick. “We have always been fans of PBR, and that has never changed. We plan to move forward and will be back to offering PBR with our many great food options.”
The Berkshire says that PBR could be back as early as next week. “We expect it to be back next week, and it will come back with the deserving fanfare,” said Ganick. “There will be specials on PBR as well as other drinks and appetizers, and we will make those announcements soon.” The Stapletonion and the Berkshire will make the announcements on the specials as soon as they are available. Welcome back, PBR. Welcome back.
