    Hey All,

    Does Schlitz come in a 12 pack of 12 oz cans? I have asked at my local packie and they say they can only get it in 12 oz bottles and 16 oz cans. This doesn't seem right. If you have seen them around, where?

    I think they only distribute the Gusto version now, and that's never to my knowledge come in 12 packs.

    I don't see why anyone would voluntarily look for Schlitz....

    Because some people don't stick their pinky out while drinking beer?

    Gusto gets a 3.65 rating on BA, which is pretty "good' and 16/95 on Ratebeer.

    It looks like it does ("12 - 12 oz. cans" top center)

    - or, at least, has since Pabst's release of the "60's Formula" version, but that does not mean that the local Pabst distributors carry every package.

    These came up in a Google search, but the newest image I found was from 2013. I did send an email to Pabst last week. They replied yesterday asking for my zip code so they could research further and "see what's going on". I imagine they would tell me if the format was not available? Maybe it is a regional thing...

    Seems like a lot of effort when you could just drink the extra 4 ounces and be done with it.

    I just like the format. I usually do drink the extra 4 oz without complaint. If sending an email seems like a lot of effort....

    I've seen 12 pack bottles in some areas of southeastern MA. Have not seen 12 pack cans anywhere in MA though...

    Ah! Thank you very much for this info. I wonder what it would take to get them to start carrying the 12 of cans...
