Had a go with Schlitz

Haven't had one of those since high school, about 50 years ago. We used to call it "Joe Schittz".

 

So did they (well, a bit more formal & abbreviated).

 

The first and last time I ever drank a Schlitz was due to a fraternity hazing activity my pledge class had to suffer through.

The beers weren't just piss warm, they were actually heated from sitting next to a fire pit. Our objective was to just chug them as fast as we could. I got the entire thing down and was the next to last guy to puke, so that's...something.

 

My dad went through a Schlitz phase for a while in the 70's. Haven't seen one up here. I need that tick!

 

I reckon that the Gusto was very good.

 

When I was visiting Ray in Tacoma, I hit up on a few Rainers. It's better than most AALs, they are what they, are refreshing uncomplicated beers that go good sucking it down in 3 pulls on a hot day. I also found 3 Magnets beers to be pretty damn good too.

 

Last time I had Schlitz it was pretty garbage even compared to pbr or old style. And I didn't have high expectations

 

I'll generally grab either Chuckanut's Kolsch or Pils for quick slamming purposes.

 

One 12 pack I could partially see, but two??

 

I didn't read all the posts just addressing the op's message.Schlitz was my go to cheaper beer for some time,then my local store stopped carrying it. Not long afterwards I found another store that had it,bought a sixer and they tasted really off,like it had some oxidation issue so I stopped buying it.

 

I had a 12 pack of bottles a couple months back and found it good. Tasted like regular beer. I enjoyed them. Nothing off for me. Could yours have been old? Still not sure though if this is that 60's classic recipe or if they scrapped that.

 

Back in '13-'14, this is what Pabst replied when questioned why the labels no longer said "60s Formula":



But, as with anything Pabst does, doesn't mean it the Schlitz recipe hasn't been "tweaked" since .

One could ask themselves "Why would they?" but then you'd have to ponder "Why did they _____?" [fill in the blank with any of a number of bone-headed moves].

Looks like this is Pabst's current direction:

 

I just have to do it:

Girls who drink beer on the beach get sand in their Schlitz.

 

the veggie taste is just extra Gusto

 

Shitz gives me the shitz

 

40oz Blue and Red Bull Schlitz was my $0.99 go to in college for cheap inebriation. Sorry to hear the quality is suspect...

 

In the early 70s I ran a bar that was next to UNC-G and it was a fine watering hole. Bud and Miller longnecks and Blatz draft. Also Gablingers for those on a diet. We decided to put in Beck's Dark in bottles. It took off and we sold about 8 cases a week. Lots of people had never tasted such rich pure malt..It was an education for me. I learned about brand-building from that response to a chance taken to sell something different, that really worked. This lesson informed my career.

 

Mickey's maybe...
