If my dad was still alive he would be truly hurt because he loved that damn beer and I don’t know why.

He also had a shite fit when they discontinue KB beer

What made Milwaukee famous has made a fool out of me.

Had a buddy in high school that made an impressive chain out of the pull tabs.

Like Clarence Carter…

I did not realize it was still alive when death notice arrived.

I must be living under a Milwaukee rock. And I’m cool with it.

Schlitz was dang good beer until they messed it up in the 70s. They went back to the original formula years back and that stuff was tasty.

Admittedly, I prefer a lot of those legacy brand beers, PBR, Hamm's, Old Style, Schlitz, Grain Belt, Ranier, etc.

Yeah, it said 1960s recipe on the can. It was better than any other domestic in that niche.

This is the most unoriginal, mindless, moronic, brain dead adjective applied to domestic lagers. Think for yourself once in awhile.

I drink the crap out of the new Pabst Light they came out with a year ago.

If you see it, give it a try. Drinking one right now.

Apparently, not many people give a Schlitz about this.

When in college I had a first date with a girl who was a complete smoke show. When I asked her out the only thing I knew about her was her name.

We were walking from my car to a party and ran into a friend of mine on the sidewalk who was walking in the opposite direction. We stopped, talked, and he gave us two Schlitz beers. Then we all went on our way.

So she and I were walking along, chatting, and sipping on our beers when I decided to let her know how worldly and sophisticated I was.

ME: I don't know why everyone in Louisiana drinks Schlitz beer. This stuff is awful.

HER: Do you know what my dad does?

ME: No, but I think I am about to find out.

HER: He's a Schlitz distributor.

ME: Oh, sorry.

Then I thought to myself this is just great. I really wanted to go out with this girl, got my chance, and then screwed it up on the first date. I thought she would never go out with me again. Of course she did once she saw how sweet and charming I really am.

The first beer I remember seeing as a kid in the 70s was Schlitz. Our neighbor was an old WWII vet who, as far as I can tell started drinking them at breakfast and continued until he went to bed. The only thing he loved as much as his Schlitz was Lucky Strike cigarettes. He lived alone because his wife had died sometime before I came along. His kids were grown and had moved away, so he was basically all alone. But he was an awesome old man. As long as I’d bring some worms, he’d let me come over and fish in his pond with him all the time. I can’t count the hours we’d sit out there by his pond with him telling me old war stories, he was an artilleryman on a towed 105 in France and Germany. Some of my fondest childhood memories were sitting by that pond fishing with Old Sam while he downed one Schlitz after another along with unfiltered Lucky Strikes.

The Schlitz and Lucky Strikes finally caught up to him in 1983. I still think of him often though.
