PBRs

Blue-ribbon beers

PBRs is the plural of PBR, which most commonly refers to Pabst Blue Ribbon, an American lager beer that has become iconic in working-class and hipster culture alike.

We grabbed a couple of PBRs at the dive bar.

In military contexts, PBR stands for Patrol Boat, River—small watercraft used extensively during the Vietnam War for operations in shallow waters.

The abbreviation also appears in computer graphics as Physically Based Rendering, a method that simulates realistic lighting and materials.
