Schiltz is back (in the Midwest). I always liked it on tap. I’m taking a wait-and-see attitude for now. I’m afraid it will be marketed “up-scale.”

PBR is enjoying a bit of a comeback among Preppies. I enjoy it because it isnt bad for the price.
Schlitz??? Do they even make that anymore? What about Strohs? Everytime I drank that stuff,It opened the sluices at both ends.

Hope this does't affect their Superbowl commercials.

Being a St. Louis native (but not really a beer drinker), this is sad.

[P8riot]

I have actually had some of that. It is good.

[delchiante]

Man,

I hope not...

Schiltz is back (in the Midwest).

Last time I had it was out of can in the '80s. It probably is better on tap.

I went to college up there. I get a case every now and then.

LOL

[JohnLongIsland]

actually inbev is pretty adept at marketing their regional and local beers, don’t be surprised if a couple of years down the road their selling more double r than ever.

It (again, the old Schlitz) was suprisingly good off the tap. Cans? When you’re playing softball and it’s 90 outside. ;)

Belgian. The Brazilians own Miller.

Actually, South African Breweries owns Miller.

SAB buys Miller Brewing

You're right.

It was the first American beer sold in New Brunswick provincial liquor stores. We're talking 1982. And by law, then, all beer was sold warm.

Now you can get almost any American beer there. Cold.

The new owners can’t be any more liberal than the old bunch.

‘Course there's the old one about the guy who couldn't quite squeeze out a urine sample, so he pours in a little of a can of warm Bud.......report comes back,”Dear Sir, your horse has diabetes......”

[PAR35]

The more common names:
Becks - Germany
Stella Artois - Belgium
Bohemia - Brazil
Plus:
Staropramen - Czech Rep.
Brahma - Brazil
Hoegaarden - Belgium
Klinskoye - Russia
Sedran - China
And a dozen or so other brands I haven’t heard of.

Beck’s is daggone good beer (posting as I have a sip right now). Mmmmmmm, real good. The Germans make good beer, and good cars too. Thanks Germans.

‘The new owners can’t be any more liberal than the old bunch.”

I don't know. They're from Belgium, isn't that one of the “Surrender Countries?”

Most Brownings are made in Belgium, and Browning is more American than Budweiser.

[buccaneer81]

The Germans make good beer, and good cars too.

Agreed. But they make lousy bosses and corporate owners (guess who I work for.)
