I'm always on the lookout for something new at the local bottle shop, and I found a Schlitz 12 pack of 12 ounce cans, and very affordable. Given the affordable price and relative obscurity today, I was stunned at how good this beer is. Very rich and full flavored for a macrobrew American lager. I'm now a big fan of Schlitz. I just hope I can keep finding it. Great review!

I'm a big fan of Schlitz. Cool review, of an old school brew! Cheers 🍺🍻🍺🍻

It’s a beer… and it goes down! Especially if it’s free 🍻

Schlitz was bought by Stroh's in 1982, who in turn was bought by Pabst in 1998 I think. The formula was changed in the 70's and that is why it when down hill pretty fast. It wasn't until about 2007, when I started drinking it that it's went back to the supposed 60's formula.

It's funny... I used to work for COORS, just out of the Marines, and really didn't drink beer. Fastforward 31 years and I retired from the local PD. I started golfing & enjoying a good beer. I really like all kinds, except Burbon or whiskey barrel beers. I try to have different styles from different breweries every week. I had a low opinion of COORS, well all American Lagers. After one round of Golf, I had a COORS banquet tall boy and was surprised it was pretty good. I guess I should try a Schiltz. My brother, a beer-aholic since High School, only drinks Bud. It doesn't matter where our older brother & I take him or the 100 beers on tap, he only drinks Bud.

Man I wish I could get those down here. Great review! Salute 🍻🍺🍻🍺

Schlitz...the one and only.....Great Review!! Cheers, PROST, and Enjoy!!!

Schlitz is great, I have only had it once, hard to find near me, cheers man!

Haven’t had one of these in years! Love the review! Cheers 🍻

This is an OG Beer, I have not had this in years. May have to revisit, sounds like it is better than I recall. Great review!

I enjoy this one from time to time.

The head is very stable, sign of a well made beer

The reason they used to talk about Schlitz like that is because Schlitz had a period of time when their beer was made with processed ingredients and a chemical thickener. They eventually abandoned that method of production and returned to natural ingredients. But it was too late. Their reputation and sales were destroyed and that led to the company being sold to Pabst.

"When you're out if Schlitz, you're out of beer."

Pabst! Blue! Ribbon! I’ve never had a Schlitz either. Actually other than the puzzle I have behind my desk, I didn’t know they existed until last couple years. Euro lagers tend to have a better aroma to me than ours. “Always heard adults talk about Schlitz like it was garbage.” 😂 EVERYTHING OLD IS NEW AGAIN!

I’ve a few episodes of that show. I need to search out the one about beer. This is a nice find Josh. I haven’t seen this available near me in a long, long time. Great review Bro, Cheers!

I have Schlitz in my Fridge. I really enjoy it. I used to drink it in the late 70's until they changed the recipe. Between Naraganneset and Schlitz I enjoy both. Cheers!

I wish I could find Schlitz in my area of East Tennessee.

My mom's mom actually used to drink this beer. I've tried it before and it's not one of my favorites. But if it was offered to me again, I would take it.

Schlitz went back to their original formula, there was a period when it was terrible. They used to have a premium beer called Erlanger which was awesome.

Schlitz: it's not THAT bad!

Once again I drank this while living by a dumpster. Back then it was a premium brew!

I can still get 12-packs of this at a local store for $11.99.

Id just watched another you tube video and it said that they were finally bought out by pabst, and pabst dropped the Schlitz brand about 1990...are you saying its back, or the guy was wrong??!

Believe it or not... I'm south of the Twin Cities metro and cant get it here in Minnesota. They used to carry the 1960 recipe in tallboys here, but when it sold out, they quit distributing all Schlitz here

Great Beer 🍺 it was known for the Beer that made Milwaukee Famous until 1982 try Strohs beer

A thirst quencher or bbq beer? Sounds better than I expected it to 😀👍

Schliiiiiiitz!!!

if you can, get a 6 pack of bottles, Schlitz out of a bottle tastes like candy! lol

Where did you find SCHLITZ?! I’m in GA,btw

In the 1970s Schlitz changed its formula kind of like how Coke changed theirs in the 80s in both cases the customers who bought their products hated it the difference was that Coke changed back to its classic formula within 3 to 4 months Schlitz did not and shot themselves in the foot as they lost the majority of their Customers they went from being the number one or two beer competing with Budweiser for the number one selling beer in America sometimes they were on top and sometimes they weren't. They went to becoming that garbage beer that people told you about it wasn't until they found some master brew makers that worked for Schlitz to recreate the 1960s formula that people still liked that it started tasting decent again trust me I had a Schlitz in the 80s and it was awful.... I was at a party.... in 2008.... and someone handed me a beer in a glass and I said "hey this taste good!!" then they showed me the bottle it came in an it was the 60s formula Schlitz needless to say I was pleasantly surprised and shocked cause lets be absolutely honest once you taste awful tasting beer normally most people would not give it a second chance and now I buy it from time to time when at one time I would not have give it a chance again.

I noticed the Upstream glass, are you in the Omaha, Nebraska area?

This is a bit misleading. Schlits DID actually become a garbage beer during the 70's/early 80's. It was due to INTENTIONAL product degradation by Schlitz. Of course...in order to save money. My grandfather drank Old Milwaukee (the OTHER Schlitz product) back then so I am familiar with that. When Pabst bought the rights to Schlitz, they tried (through various agencies) to re-create the original as closely as possible. THIS version is what you are drinking. And it's pretty damned good, honestly. Also...enough time has past that only us old heads remember the crap that Schlits WAS, when it went under. The younger generations (those under 40 or so), don't have any of the negative feelings towards the name brand so they only judge it based on it's merits TODAY.

Budweiser uses rice no corn at all

Hi

The last Schlitz I had was in about 1974 and it was horrible. Tasted like it was made with artificial ingredients.
