This is the free zone, so.... a little backstory related to Pabst Blue Ribbon.... Karl Strauss was a brewmaster for Pabst in the '50s. The brother of the minister of my parent's church started up Karl Strauss brewery with a friend in San Diego and his relative Karl (retired from Pabst) agreed to help out with the recipes (and lend his name to the brand). Their Red Trolley Ale is still my favorite!
THE PABST YEARS
Karl began his career at Pabst Brewing Company on the bottling line in May, 1939. But with his strong work ethic and educational background, he quickly worked his way up the brewing ranks. In the 1950s, he was part of the team that reformulated the recipe for Pabst’s Blue Ribbon beer. The improved version catapulted sales for the company, and PBR remains an American brewing icon to this day. In 1960, Karl became Vice President of Production, overseeing all brewing operations across the country. He held the position until he retired in 1983, after 44 years with the company.
RETIREMENT
Not content to rest after his retirement, Karl launched a new career as a brewery consultant, providing expert advice to breweries all over the world. In 1986, he was approached by his cousin Chris in San Diego about starting a microbrewery. Karl thought it was a great idea. He helped design the brewery, train the brewers, and create recipes for the first beers. He was so passionate about the project that he even lent his name, face and voice to the enterprise. Karl served as Master Brewer from 1989 to 2006, remaining involved in brewery operations until his passing.

Karl Strauss Red Trolley is my current favorite everyday beer! I see no relation in taste to PBR however.

Guess I know who the real valentine is (and if this backfires it was all my 10 year old sons Nicholas's fault)...
