Pabst Brewing, current owner of the Schlitz brand is re-introducing the brew in Chicago after Minneapolis/St. Paul and Tampa Bay, Florida. Nice to see one of the old names back in business. Schlitz is right up there with Olympia, Hamms, Pabst, Coors and other beers I enjoyed as a young guy.

I remember throwing-up Mickey's Malt Liquor at the lake. Sweet memories of yuth.
Perhaps you would like to see the return of Billy Beer, Jax, and Phieffer's! ;)

Only heard of one of the three. But since Billy Beer was little more than a political joke and it came well after my youth I don't see any reason for resurrecting it. Some people actually collected cans of Billy Beer as I remember. Makes about as much sense as collecting bottles of Coke.
Apparently you are interested in resurrecting those three, so let us know how the project progrsses.
Not those three - they are the only beers I have ever spat out of my mouth upon tasting.
I believe it is safe to say nobody ever bought a second six pack of Billy Beer.

Remember when generic food was all the rage in the mid-'70s? Then the generic product makers came up with "BEER".
I wonder if that stuff tasted as bad as Billy Beer. I was too young to drink beer in the mid-'70s.
In Buffalo, we had Iroquois, Beck's (not the German one!) and a few others back in the day. Rochester had Standard Dry Ale and Genessee. Oh, waitaminnit, it still does have Genny Pounders and Genny Screamers.
Nor a second six pack of JR beer.

Billy Beer, Jax, and Pfieffer's are in a class by themselves.
Generic beer was probably just a Bud by-product.

The generic beers sold in California back in the 70s were, for the most part, brewed by General Brewing.

I'm remembering some brewery in PA making their stuff.
One guy I remember wanted to find the cheapest worst tasting beer he could. He found something called "Old Dutch" ("The Good Stuff!") (ha!) one time. I'm wondering if they brewed it.
Or it might have been those Rolling Rock folks, which, I guess, would be a Bud by-product.
My favorite 6-pack of all time right afore goin' in the Army in 1966. (Well, actually, the night before)
Buit, if you want one, you can always go to ebay for it. There's always people selling them.
