My Grandpa use to drink Gettleman and Schlitz Beer. My Dad claims there was a beet called Idleberry Cherryberry.

Get, get Gettleman, Dad's beer in the early 60's. Mom drank Meister Brau or whatever else was cheaper, though I think she drew a line about drinking Old Milwaukee. A lot of my friends had fathers who worked at breweries, back when drinking on the job was allowed & common. They'd also buy cases of the short fills. I'm almost amazed they were ever sober, if they ever were.

Schlitz was sold on tap at most taverns in the Milwaukee area for many years.
