Sales had been declining for some time, and there was never a huge demand outside of Milwaukee and Chicago.

That depends on how far you go back. At one point is was #3 in the U.S. They cheapened the process, and eventually lost customers due to declining quality. Not so easy to get them back, especially when you get sold a time or two and are now on someone else's back burner. I am still awaiting the return of Rheingold and Miss Rheingold.

My Okie dad...here in CA, always drank Schlitz.

Then something changed he didn’t like and he switched to Coors. Not light.

Heck...I’m in NC and Schlitz is one of the 1st brews I ever quashed. IIRC, they had a brewery in Winston Salem...

In the late 1970’s, Schlitz was KING of the hill in my small town just south of Houston. I worked at a 7-11. It was our best seller by far. That started to change when Miller Lite hit the market, and when Coors finally started delivering to Texas.
