10 thoughts on “Please Lower Your Flags To Half Staff.”
This was a bit before my time, but I remember some piles of Schlitz cans in the trash cans at the ranch after a gathering occurred. Y’all have my condolences. :^)
My Brother drank a lot of Milwaukee’s Best back in the day (cheap buzz)- maybe it and Schlitz are related ?
I liked Schlitz. I even liked Hamm’s and Pearl. But as a practical matter, Schlitz has been unobtainable for years and years. Corporate suicide.
Miller High Life is getting hard to find. To paraphrase Colonel Kilgore, I love the smell of Miller in the morning. One of these days, that beer will be over.
Up until the rise of craft brewers, post-Prohibition American beer mostly sucked. Prohibition had a lasting effect on the brewing industry.
I don’t recall drinking Schlitz. Bud, Michelob, Carling Black Label, Grain Belt, PBR, Milwaukie’s Best, Ranier, and Oly, until I discovered good beer. After that, sometimes Coors, Bud, or MGD, which still are not good beer.
Sure WON’T be missed by the likes of me !
That’s Half-Staff. Masts are on ships…..
And, I believe, USMC installations.
I’m not on a ship.
I’m 61, and I can recall my gramps drinking Schlitz. Glad he wasn’t around to see the demise.
Here’s the punch line to a baseball joke about a relief pitcher by the name of Mel Famey:
“That’s the beer that made Mel Famey walk us!”
So they change the formula to save money, people don’t like it, and it’s the beer drinkers fault they are losing money?
