Back in the 80s my buddies and I discovered Shlitz dark on draft.

You’d be shocked how good it is when it’s chilled properly.

So much so, we’d have it at keg parties on a regular basis.

I started drinking Yuengling in the 70's {I sold them some computer systems and had to visit the hdq about once a quarter} and once you acquire a taste for Y, there is no other American beer that can compete.

There are some German beers, and English porters and of course Guiness and Murphy's.

I can buy a case of Yuengling and a second case of Yuengling Dark and Tan for $51.50 while a single case of Guiness is $ 47, about twice the price.

On occasion I'll buy a couple of 6 packs, but it will never replace my Yuengling.

I will second your thought on Schmitz dark. From on tap, it was and still is the best I have ever drank. SO GOOD with German food!!!

Growing up in Milwaukee, my Uncles were all cops or firemen, or they worked for either Miller or Pabst.

Sometimes at the same time, LOL!

I don’t remember Schlitz at any family gatherings.
