Great title, even better article. Especially the bit about U.S. soccer teams being named after catastrophes, I never thought about that. Even though I am fairly certain I never drank Schiltz, it is a sad day for the original Milwaukee breweries.
Thanks for reading! I'm confident that one can live a full, rich life without ever knocking back a Schlitz :-) Truth be told, Schlitz was on life support for a couple generations...having something to do with being godawful.

Godawful? How dare you sir. Have you no decency?
Allow me to turn the gentleman’s attention to the Schlitz Booger recall of 1976. Not joking. Look it up.
Even though it was known as the beer that made Milwaukee famous.

The owner of some of the fanciest restaurants in Vermont (no flannel) is a huge fan of Schlitz. His grandfather worked there for 36 years.
This Thursday he is hosting a funeral/memorial for the fallen brew. Time to dust off my black suit for this somber occasion.
Four Roses, Schlitz back. Godspeed.
