In the USA, Pabst Blue Ribbon is one of the cheapest beers you can buy. But in China, it is the Mercedes Benz of Beers. At $44 per bottle, Chinese PBR costs 44 times more than what's sold stateside.

but comes in a fancy glass bottle.
It is not sold outside of China.

That’s because it’s not the same blue-collar swill. PBR 1844 is made from German caramel malts, is aged in uncharred American whiskey barrels, and even comes in a fancy glass bottle. Masterbrewer Alan Kornhauser designed the ale to compete with higher end wines and brandies. It is not sold outside of China.

Misrepresent the truth much? Why do you do this? Is it actually fun making yourself look like a fool??

I don't know what non hipster bar you go to, but PBR is more expensive than Bud Light around here. It's ridiculous! But, the hoppiest of the hops Christmas tree tasting evergreen garbage is the most popular.
