The Joseph Schlitz Brewing Company was one America's Largest beer producer. Creaters of Schlitz Beer (the Beer that made Milwakee Famous) the brand was beloved by many until the mid 1970s when attempts to cut production cost resulted in a gradual drop in quality eventually leading to it's decline.
Those intrested in the companies fall will find a summery of events from it's founding until it's eventual fall in the early 1980s. This video also delves into the Hawaiian Beer Primo that was brought by Schlitz and could have served as a warning.

To think Schlitz was America's and the world's largest brewer at one point is beyond my comprehension.
Business school case study
Sally sits on Schlitz. All day.
MBAs gave us Mulvaney "Queer Beer".
Boeing follows the Schlitz model, except poor quality beer doesn’t kill.
Schlitz changed their recipe in the 70s-went to cheaper ingredients. This is what killed them.
When you’re out of Bud, tough Schlitz!
I don’t drink at all anymore, but when Schlitz was good, it was GOOD. I can still smell it. Same with Falstaff.
Hahahaha
I’m from Milwaukee, we used to call it shits.
Something about the name “Schlitz” always turned me off. Probably because of what it sounds like (e.g., I took a .... Schlitz). I know that sounds pretty shallow, but it is what it is.

Squiggy: They say it’s lonely at the top.
Lenny: Yeah, I found that’s true.
LOL, never watched an episode...but I must say, that is a very evocative picture! Reminds me of kids sitting outside the Principal’s Office in middle school, as I have done...:)
I have a boatload of stuff I can watch when I can’t get around anymore. (I know, that isn’t much to strive for, but it is never too late to lighten up in nearly any endeavor!)
Just last night, out of curiosity, I watched a Buster Keaton silent movie because it came up on some list of the ten best comedy movies of all time.j
I couldn’t relate, because being as visual as I am, even though the movie had been remastered, they didn’t fix the darn frame rate, and it had that silent movie jerkiness to it. I thought the cinematography was excellent from a composition perspective, and I will say this: If they fixed that video (In the same way they fixed the video in the excellent WWI documentary “They Shall Not Grow Old” (which blew me away) you could colorize that film, add dialogue, and it would be as enjoyable as nearly anything you would watch today.
It was the first Buster Keaton movie I had ever seen, and I understand why he is considered one of the greats-his facial expressions were very modern. It surprised me.
I didn’t finish the movie, but it WAS interesting, the concept of a train chase across the South in the Civil War, and all the things one might do on railroad tracks to foil a pursuer. I found it fascinating.

S#!ts beer? Bah…
The brews were rotated and we regularly got info as to what was being served at each brewery. We always strove to "Tour" the breweries when Michelob/Andeker was being featured at respectively at each brewery! A few short years later, Schlitz products became swill!
