So Schlitz is back and being brought to you by Pabst Brewing co.which no longer even owns a brewery.All of their beers are contract brewed by others.Just another marketing ploy.

Hmmmm,

Actually, they've been selling Schlitz around here for the past several weeks.  My dad used to be a Schlitz drinker when I was little.

The only person I can remember that drank Schlitz, was the neighborhood drunk.  He'd leave odd cans around in places, once we (neighborhood kids) found a sixpack.  We opened a can, tried it, and put it all back... 

[WA1GFZ]

around here we called it shitz

Hi Blain ... that Willer pix is out there a pretty good ways ! ... I like it ... haire' haire'  (ps good dog, good dog)

[W1EUJ]

For those soul-crushing days,
when you drive home on autopilot,
and the lights at your home are already out for the night,
I will always return to the comfort of an Anchor Steam Beer.

Schlitz was better than Budweiser (isn't almost anything?).  But now I drink only real beer, just as I operate only real radios.

We bought a six of Schlitz a few weeks ago and welcome it as a megabrew that almost tastes like beer. It may have been like that in the 60's but real beer was long gone by then anyway.

It was not until I made my first trip to Europe in the 60's that I found out what beer was supposed to taste like and started making my own because nothing else was available around here.  Last year we decommissioned the brewery because there is so much good beer to choose from these days that it's not worth the trouble.

There is lots of lousy beer too but at least one can choose from a very large selection in most liquor stores now.

One can only laugh though when we are told that the world's worst beers are officially known a American Premium beer.

Because they were unable to rise above the noise level in the Great American Beer Festival, they coined this class so they could fight among each other and get blue ribbons without having to compete with real beer.

I'd sooner have a Bottle of Red Pop... ..Ice Cold...

Ah'Yes,...Schlitz... Brings back some memories from the 70's.. In high school I worked in an "old time" garage. Around 5 PM the owner would pull out a dollar bill and one of those old plastic change holders (the ones you squeezed and they opened up in the middle) and take out 85 cents.  Without saying anything, you just went down to the package store and bought a 6 pack of Schlitz..  On Fridays, 2 dollars came out and 15 cents was handed to you that was the sign to go buy a six pack of Michelob! 
Then there is the story of when the package store burnt down, but we will save that of another time..
For what it is worth, 34 years later, I still stop by that old time garage and have a Miller with the old man.  He is 82 and now rents the place out to someone, however the tradition lives on!  It is a gathering place for former employees and customers.

Good Beer, No Shit

Road Dog Scottish Porter was the first member of our litter of ales to cross the line with the authorities. Shortly after its launch in 1995, we were told to remove it from the shelves due to the alleged use of profanity. The offending text was Ralph's inscription that simply read, 'Good Beer. No Shit.' We replaced the text with, 'Good Beer. No Censorship.' and with the help of the ACLU (American Civil Liberties Union) we fought to get the original text re-instated. In 2001 we achieved our goal and today, 'Good Beer. No shit.' stands proudly as a statement of fact on all Road Dog Scottish Porter labels.

    Here's the real skinny:
    REAL beer made in Europe, by law, can only consist of the following ingredients:
    -water
    -malted barley
    -hops
    -yeast
    Most beer made in America is adulterated with cereal grains and rice as it is much cheaper than malted barley. Hence the cheap taste.
    I prefer a Becks or Heiniken to the dog water they sell here.

You are refering to the German Purity Law "Rhineheigtsgabot" (my spelling) which applies only in Germany and only to beer so labled.  I don't trust the Germans any more than any other country to abide by such laws anymore.

Real breweries have trucks full of malted barley in the receiving docks but "American Premium" breweries have tank cars filled with corn syrup and maybe a bag of malt just to keep the label honest.

But the best joke on Joe Sixpack is so-called "lite beer".  They take already lousy corn syrup beer and add enough water to it to reduce the calories and alcohol and the idiots love it.

Aft all..consumed lots of different beers when younger..never Schiltz..can't do a comparison..by the way i always thought lite beer had the same alcoholic content as "regular" beer yes..no??
             Anyone remember the GIQ's?..in '67 when i could legally buy beer..fifty cents got you a Pabst Blue Ribbon GIQ or giant imperial quart..two or three got you into trouble..that was a cheap drunk!!

When you can go to Best Buy and buy a Crosley radio, or a Bell and Howell camera, both chinese knock-offs, it does my heart good to see a familiar name revived and still made in the US.  Though, for both beer and radios, I prefer the homebrew.
