Attention Old-timers....

It's killing me. I've got to know...



Is there anyone out there, that used to drink Schlitz beer, "back in the day"? I guess they changed the formula for Schlitz back around the mid-seventies, and the watered down version sold today is merely a fragment of what once was. But in 1974, Schlitz was the number two biggest selling beer in the country, and came within a few thousand barrels of claiming the #1 position over Bud. Then, of course, disaster struck....



Does anyone remember what Schlitz really tasted like? Did anyone here drink Schlitz on a regular basis, enough to remember and describe it's characteristics? I lie awake sometimes at night, wondering. I even had a dream that I got transported back in time to 1965, only to find out that my



2005 currency was considered counterfeit at the Schlitz beer stand...

Anyone? Can anyone remember *real* Schlitz, back when it was piled high in every walk-in cooler in America???


thanks beer drinkers...

I fail to see what one of my exes has to do with Schlitz.

They did. She was there when the first kegs were loaded on the truck in Brooklyn. She didn't look too happy being there.

I don't read Bonglish. What does that mean in English, Walt?
