Wasn’t the old commercial on TV on Saturday baseball a cartoon guy called the Old Pro, or something like that and he made the commerical for Schlitz.

This is the only unfortunate consequence of good beer:

The dreaded "Beer Goggle" effect:

$5.49 for a six pack of Schlitz?

For goodness sake, I can buy a 12 pack of Old Milwaukee for $6.49.

Dollar for dollar, there is no finer beer than Old Milwaukee.

Heh... I should list my dozen old Schlitz-logo pilsner glasses on eBay. Ride the wave of popularity, so to speak. :-)

Pabst, based in suburban Chicago, owns dozens of brands but doesn't operate any breweries.

Well that makes sense.

Minneapolis in the 60s:

The only beer you could find was Schlitz and Hamms.
Only foreigners drank Budweiser.

My mother-in-law was secretary to the chairman of the board at Schlitz. We got free cases of beer twice a month, sweet deal when you’re newly married and poor.

I still have her old stapler with the Schlitz name on it and her old manual typewriter.

They turned the Schlitz building into condos I believe.

OK, who remembers the theme song?

Let's get together for a glass of Schlitz
A friendly glass of Schlitz
Brewed with pride(?) and just a kiss of the hops
To put real gusto into every drop
Oh...
and then I forget the rest.

Then there's that old song, "The beer that made Milwaukee famous has made a fool out of me."

Does anybody else remember the series of Schlitz ads that drove the company into bankruptcy? They went from the number two beer to zero in a few months.

Some punk would stare into the camera and say, “You want to take away my Schlitz?” Then he would tell you how he was going to beat you up.

It was probably the most disastrous add campaign of all time.
