Here's one for you, Chris!
"Pabst Project" in Portland: http://www.pamplinmedia.com/pt/11-features/234624-98272-project-pabst
Matt Slessler, a field marketing representative for Pabst Blue Ribbon, says Portland is at the heart of his company’s body of sales.
“We sell more Pabst in Portland than anywhere in the U.S.,” he says. (Pretty surprising in a city with so many craft brewers.)
...more...(the music looks be really ugly IMO)

To each his own, but I will say this.
The Violent Femmes are from here in Milwaukee, and their following is huge in Australia. Their biggest claim to fame is that they're the only band to have ever had a platinum album that didn't chart a single.
It makes sense that they are on the bill - they're just about as Milwaukee as Bowling and Bratwurst - and those two things go great with our other nefarious export, PBR.
I never saw them live until I went to Ireland in 2006. Their sound engineer, Brian Miller, who has also worked with the Indigo Girls, got me a leg up in the audio business, and we were able to hang out with the band in Cork and in Galway.
Of course, while in Ireland, I took the opportunity to consume some of the national brew . . .
So yes, I've flown half way around the world to see a band that practiced 3 blocks away from where Kate and I first shared an apartment.
And I haven't seen 'em since!
