Papst bought Hamms and stripped out its quality. I'm thinking Stroh's bought out Schlitz and did the same thing.
I remember my father complaining that G. Heileman’s Old Style lost its taste after it had been bought by a dxxx cheap xxxxxx accountant.
He also drank Schlitz and Hamms and whatever was on draft at West's Tavern located, naturally, just west of the town where we lived.
