Schlitz anyone?

Don't knock PBR. It may taste horrible. But it's consistently horrible (it tastes the same warm as it does cold) and cheap. 7 bucks for a 12 pack at publix? Can't beat that.

Interested to try the schlitz. Hope it doesn't give me the schitz like pbr though.

i really dont like PBR at all, but actually have no problem kicking back quite a few schlitz in a row. I have had the Schlitz yet, so no bad side effects, minus the headaches and nightmares, but it's worth it!

I've got nothing against PBR (I drink it semi-regularly), but my cheap beer of choice is High Life Light.  It's around $7 for a 12-pack of bottles and tastes quite decent.  For a light beer, the alcohol content isn't all that pitiful either.  I understand your skepticism, but give it a try!

Now with that said, I love "real" beer too...Dogfish Head 60min IPA, Newcastle Brown Ale, Sweetwater 420, Rogue Deadguy Ale, Terrapin Rye, Left Hand Milk Stout, and of course Bold City 1901 Red Ale!

I'll have to give the high life a try, I love "real" beer as well, Newcastle is my main one, but at $15 for a 12 pack, it's not always the most cost effective choice, Harpoon UFO is also one of my favorites, as well as anything from the Magic Hat brewing co. up in VT. Downtown Brown from California is also another great choice. Also I noticed at Total wine they have a selection of brews from Highland Brewing compnay in Asheville, excellent beers

The new(old) Schlitz in pretty darn good for being $6.99 @ Winn Dixie.  It's a clean tasting nice little lawnmower style beer....I like PBR but I think Schlitz may have just won me over

Julian

was it the one in the can or bottle? the can one is the one they've been selling for the past 30something years or so, the bottle is the "original" forumula from when they were popular. I haven't the bottle yet, still searching, but the can is pretty damn good for the price, i saw at food lion it's now $5.99 for the 12 pack, let's start a Schlitz revolution!

In a boat at sea one of the men began to bore a hole in the bottom of the boat. On being remonstrating with, he answered, "I am only boring under my own seat." "Yes," said his companions, "but when the sea rushes in we shall all be drowned with you."

From your picture I assumed you did that already!   :D

If ever in Atlanta, here's a shout out for the Porter Beer Bar in the Little Five Points area.
This is an incredible gastropub, in terms of unbelievable beers available and food.

It's supposed to hit 97 here today, I'm gonna steam some shrimp inside.

When in Jax recently for a short trip, I dropped in to Dick's Wings in Lakewood,
because they were supposed to serve Bold City. They don't offer it anymore, apparently.

Man, I'd love to try some jax beer.

As for the PBR in a bottle, they've been doing that for years. One of the cool things about PBR in a bottle is that under the bottle cap they have "cards" (5 of diamonds, Queen of spades, etc etc). So you must drink them in at least quantities of 5:)

Not my beer of choice, however...

Well Folks, it was over 2 years ago I posted about this beer and the day has finally come for those of you who care. I was able finally get a 12 pack of the original Schlitz formula in bottles at the publix on Roosevelt. Today is a great day. Oh and it is actually pretty decent.
