Dr. Liebig, the famous German Chemist, says that beer is "liquid bread." By this he means that beer is a food full of life-giving, health-sustaining qualities. The value of beer as a food is becoming well known, and it is now used by many who have hitherto looked upon it as a beverage only.
The Beer of, Quality
Is the most nourishing of all beers because it contains every particle of the healthful, wholesome nutriment cf the malt and all the tonic properties of the hops from which it is made. The Pabst Eight-Day Malting Process follows nature by slowly transforming the substance of the barley into pure, nutritious food. The quality of the materials used and the Pabst method of brewing make Pabst Blue Ribbon not only a pure beer, but a healthful, tissue-building, muscle-building, life-giving, "liquid bread." Drink Pabst Blue Ribbon, and you put health and strength into your system. When ordering beer, ask for Pabst Blue Ribbon.
