I've long been a PBR fan and was thrilled when The Pabst and Riverside Theaters started selling $3 Tallboy cans at shows. To me, the 16-oz. cans were a steal for a mere $3, especially when you're used to paying twice that for less beer at other venues.
Just when I thought it really couldn't get any better than that, I went on a little road trip. While in Iowa City last weekend, my friends and I sat down at a restaurant called The Mill prior to a concert at the nearby Picador. I made a quick run to the bathroom and when I retuned to the table, one of my pals told me she'd ordered me a can of Pabst.
When the waitress brought it, I laughed out loud as she set it in front of me. It was no 12-oz. can -- not even a Tallboy. This bad boy was a whopping 24 ounces, the equivalent of two normal cans all crammed into one ridiculously tall and girthy cylinder.
"They're called silos," the waitress said in obvious response to my surprise. I'd never seen anything like it.
The glory of it all? It was only $3.
Anybody know if silos are available in Milwaukee?
