I ordered two six-packs through Binny's.com (approx 40 bucks)... I can definitely taste Schlitz circa 1900 as it washes past my taste buds! Mmmm yummy!!!!
But, a bit pricey... I think I'll stick to pseudo-Schlitz!

Should have gotten the Munich Dark. Phenomenal dunkel.
Heck, go for the Blonde & Dark Doppelbocks, or maybe the Klosterweizen and Dunkel Weizen (though I'm not sure they've been making that often, or at all, lately).

Bah. Haven't seen the dunkelweizen, but haven't been in the area that long. The Blonde Dopplebock was surprisingly lovely when I had it a few years ago. That being said, the Munich Dark's at the top of my Capital food chain. I used to not care for dunkels much at all, but Munich Dark has become my everyday go-to beer. Love it.
How much did you pay per 6-pack? In Milwaukee it is about $6.50.

Oh, oh, I think I got this one! Could it be "approx. $20"?
When Capital first opened, a friend used to send me Capital Special, which had a wonderful sulfur-y quality (no, really, it was yummy). When I was in Chicago a couple of years ago, I was delighted to find some and brought home a six-pack. Ah, rats. It was a fine beer, a nice pils, but totally lacked the character of the original. Now it's "Special Pilsner", but it's just not the same beer. Fooey.
Ah, well, there are damn few craft breweries still producing the very beers that launched them in the 80s.

I agree Special used to be much better.
