Charleston’s Recovery Room Reaches No. 1 for PBR Can Sales Across the World | Eater Carolinas

"For the ninth year in a row I report that this Charleston dive sold more Pabst Blue Ribbon 12-ouncers than any other establishment on Earth, moving 5,482 cases (131,568 beers) in 2022, a total owner Chris “Boston” DiMattia confirmed to Eater Carolinas. In a Facebook announcement the bar credited its “awesome patrons” and encouraged them to keep coming in and ordering the low-priced brew — cans are only $1.50 at happy hour — which helps the Rec Room try to nab the title again. A 2013 City Paper piece examined how DiMattia goes through so much PBR and quoted him: “This is beer. It is what it is. They’re not gonna give you an ad with a bunch of hot chicks dancing on a beach. You’re not gonna get laid drinking this beer, but you’re gonna get drunk ... you know, if you have about 15 of them.”" - Erin Perkins
