New Schlitz beer now available on tap


From JSOnline, the new "classic formula" Schlitz beer is now available in draft. Maybe I'll get a keg.

Pabst Brewing Co., which owns the Schlitz brand, has begun distributing the brand's "Classic 60s formula" in kegs to taverns in Milwaukee and other areas in an effort to meet demand for the beer. The demand for Schlitz in bottles has outpaced production, which is done under contract at a MillerCoors LLC brewery in Eden, N.C.

Compared with the Schlitz sold in cans, the reformulated Schlitz in bottles has a more full-bodied taste. Schlitz has not been served as draft since 1999.

Mmmmm...Schlitz, I guess.

Have you heard Steve Czaban's recent Schlitz-related story? It can be found here:
