Private Stock                   Haffenreffer Private Stock was the greatest 40 that ever lived, up until 2013 when Pabst Brewing Co. soullessly murdered the brand. Private Stock weighed in at 6.87% ABV and the "imported taste" was amazing. It did not taste like all the rest, it was head and shoulders above them. It was the most perfect 40oz experience there was, and if Pabst ever considered bringing back an old brand, I pray to the holy Malt Unicorn that it is this one. P-Stock was often compared with Ballantine Ale, not because they tasted similar (they didn't) but because they were both delicious, unique, and came in green bottles. Green glass bottles is key, but unfortunately green bottled beer is becoming more rare, in favor of brown glass which does a better job blocking out harmful UV rays. However, when it comes to beer the effect of the light on the green glass does something that makes the beer taste even better, albeit easier to skunk as well. Private Stock had a sort-of spicy malt flavor that's never been replicated with an alcohol content that was high enough for you to know you just drank a 40. This is the easiest 10/10 swills rating I've ever assigned. The world became a much worse place to live when Private Stock was discontinued. It's never too late to bring it back, Pabst. Nostalgia sells, and I'd buy it by the case. The Notorious B.I.G. knew what was up. RIP Private Stock... I miss you so much it hurts. I need the 9 variants pictured on the bottom.
