Schlitz anyone?

Has anyone seen around town the "new" Schlitz that's sold in bottles? I heard they changed their formula back to the original one when they were popular in the 60's and I'd like to try it out, i've been to quite a few places around town and haven't seen it, in fact the only place I was able to find the old schlitz in cans was at the Winn-Dixie downtown, if anyone's seen it let me know! thanks!

If Pabst (PBR) can do it so can Schlitz... I want some too!

interestingly enough, schlitz is owned by Pabst now, i've tried the current beer, and to me it's better than PBR, still not anywhere near a quality beer, but better than PBR, so i'm curious to see how the "new" original formula is

I believe it's the same formula that's been sold in the cans but now in the original brown bottle.

I've always liked Schlitz....

Malt Liquor (red bull)
Malt Liquor (black bull)
Bull Max
Bull Ice
High Gravity VSL


And though I long to embrace, I will not replace my priorities: humour, opinion, a sense of compassion, creativity and a distaste for fashion.

Schlitz until last year was only available in the Midwest. Great to hear it is finally available here.

First PBR, now Schlitz? What's next, Blatz, or maybe Lowenbrau?  Yikes!

Who cares, draft beer is draft beer, you get it cold enough, it all tastes the same.

Maybe if the car companies had focused on innovation instead of re-creation, they could have survived, but I doubt anyone will go under with some wasted barley and hops...

That's it...you're off the team!

so i've found that Winn-Dixie carries not the new "old" schlitz but the  regular one in the can for $6.99 for a 12 pack, and honestly, it's not that bad. Hopefully they'll roll out the new "old" formula here soon

When I saw PBR in bottles at Publix I let our a little laugh...and then I bought a 6 pack.  If I see Schlitz or Lowenbrau...I am all over that.  It would be so nice to order a Lowenbrau at a bar as people are order orange flavored Michelob and drinks with fruit in them.

Total wine has Lowenbrau as well as Schlitz in a can
