I'm sure it was crappy and all that, but I was flat out tired and sitting in the bed of a ranch foreman's equally worn out truck and that was what he offered up. It even wasn't all that cold. But for whatever reason, it really hit the spot.

The first beer I ever hoisted was a Schlitz. I will look for it for nostalgic reasons.

Fellow TZers, please post in here if you see these appear in Texas. Although I'm too young to have drunk it myself, my grandparent's "beachfront" house in LaPorte was covered in Schlitz (and Lone Star) memorabilia, so I'd love to have grab a sixer if just for grandpa's sake.

I *think* those are some of the remaining pre-revival Schlitz soon to be rolled out in fancy new bottles and cans. Instead of retro-shitty, what you saw are just the remaining plain shitty products.

Post by: Andyzipp on August 04, 2008, 06:54:55 pm: That is kind of curious. I could have sworn when I worked for the beer distributor that we carried Schlitz.

I remember Schlitz being available all the time, recently.

Me too. It was certainly available in Boston from 2000 - 2003. My roomate kept the fridge stocked with it. "Just a kiss of hops."

I believe they meant that the original recipie was being used again.
