Schaefer is the one beer to have when you're having more than one.

Schaefer was smooth, sort of like Coors. The last brewery in New York City to close. (In 1900 there were almost 100 breweries in NYC.)
You cannot get Schaeffer anymore in Massachusetts? They were once as strong as Bud and Miller but they destroyed their business over a labor dispute as I recall
