Hey Vader, I figured you would probably know the answer to this. I have dealt with these and the description "PBR" is the common place name but, I've tried to no avail to find out but, NEVER found a meaning for this perplexing acronym . This is really trivial but I know there has to be a reason why they were given this abbreviation. Thanks for your help. SS-ya

But seriously, it's the company's initials that they come from... don't know what that stands for.
