Trivia: What beer was named for its success at a World’s Fair?
Miller High Life
Victory Classic Lager
Pabst Blue Ribbon
Red Stripe
The correct answer is Pabst Blue Ribbon
So why is this answer correct? : Before the 1893 Chicago World’s Fair, what we know today as PBR actually was called PBS: Pabst Best Select. A steamship captain named Frederick Pabst brewed the beer, and after it was awarded a blue ribbon, they decided to do a little rebranding, and Pabst Blue Ribbon was born. Pabst used actual blue ribbons to wrap around the beer bottles they would sell, and by 1900, they used 1 million feet of silk ribbon per year. PBR switched to a blue ribbon icon in the 1950s.
