First teased in a viral video post in December, Perfect Pour: Pabst Blue Ribbon Edition, is now shipping to bars across the country!
In Perfect Pour players step behind the bar and pour beers with precision and speed using joystick controls that function like real tap handles.
As customers line up, players must juggle multiple taps while dealing with blown kegs, pitchers, half pours, and perfectionist customers. The bar grows busier over time, requiring quick decision-making, multitasking, and accuracy to keep customers satisfied and tips flowing.

The Perfect Pour game concept was dreamt up by DSM Arcade Designer and Founder, Dan Fessler, while watching a bartender in action during a busy shift, at a local bar in Des Moines.
Fessler said about the game:
“Great bartenders make it look effortless, even in total chaos. We wanted to recreate that pressure — and that fun — so players could step behind the bar and see what it’s really like.”
Kat Mata, Director of Culture Marketing added:
“Bartenders are the real heroes of the industry. Perfect Pour gives people a fun glimpse into how hard bar work actually is. The fact that it came from an indie developer and was dreamed up in a bar makes it feel even more authentic, and we’re proud to put the Blue Ribbon on it.”
Perfect Pour PBR Edition introduces new vintage-style cabinet art featuring classic Pabst branding, all-new HD graphics and effects, and a redesigned cabinet profile that delivers a timeless arcade feel.
Additional features include boss battles, mini-games, multiple themed environments ranging from neighborhood bars to festivals.
