PBR

This Ana Inciardi mini print renders a classic can of Pabst Blue Ribbon Beer in a woodblock-style illustration using navy blue and brick red on pale gray paper. The composition centers the can straight-on, with the familiar circular medallion logo reading "Pabst Blue Ribbon Beer" dominating the upper half. Wheat stalks flank the central ribbon design, and a partial glass of beer appears at the lower right. The number 12 sits prominently below the medallion, referencing the ounce measurement. The color registration is intentionally slightly loose, giving the print a handmade, almost vintage poster quality. Pabst Blue Ribbon has been brewed in the United States since the 1840s and became especially associated with working-class American drinking culture before experiencing a revival as a countercultural staple in the early 2000s. The blue ribbon detail on the can references actual competition awards the brewery received in the nineteenth century. Collectors drawn to Americana and everyday object iconography find this print particularly appealing. Inciardi has a consistent affinity for subjects embedded in street-level culture, and the PBR can fits naturally into that sensibility. The stylized reduction of a familiar object into bold two-color printmaking is a signature approach across her catalog. This print pairs naturally with her other food prints, especially those depicting drinks, snacks, or diner staples. For collectors building a themed grouping around American nostalgia or New York neighborhood culture, it serves as a strong anchor piece that reads confidently alongside her other urban and culinary subjects.
