Secrets of the City

Beer advertising slogans that didn’t work:

Schlitz: It tastes just like it sounds.

Blatz: The beer that speaks its name

Schlitz: When PBR, veganism, striped tube socks and your frankenstein bike aren’t Indie-punk enough.

Vlog Santa’s pocket is a good place to look for Schlitz.

that’s usually where I look for a candy cane.

“just a kiss of the hops”: the most enigmatic beer slogan ever?

I know Al’s in SLP has it in bottles, but not sure if it’s on tap yet.

We picked some up at Zips. It was a good beer for a Sunday afternoon on a pontoon.

Does anyone know where I can get my Schlitz on?

If you really want to know where to find it, you could call your local distributor.

I prefer Old Style…

I’ll stick with He’Brew. It’s from the Smaltz Brewing Co.

I prefer Old Style…

er, we are still talking about beer, right?

My BF’s grandpa used to install Schlitz taps back in the day in Milwaukee. I guess his mom has a garage full of old Schlitz swag.

Trying saying “Schlitz swag” three times fast after a few swigs…

Ahh… memories.

Ahh… memories

The first time I ever felt a beer buzz was from a sip of Schlitz. Ahhh, to be 10 again…

er, we are still talking about beer, right?

Well, if I’m going to drink something cheap, I prefer Old Style…

But alie you have to give Schlitz a chance! It’s the old formulation!

It tastes like a mountain stream! (Giardhia free of course)

I cracked a few Schlitzes open at Nokomis Lanes last winter.

I like Pepsi Blue.

Pabst, the best marketing company to call itself a brewery.

Picked up a 12 pack of Schlitz at Surdyk’s over the weekend. $9.99. Still have half of it.

One of the neighbors, who revels in cheap beer convinced me.

“It’s water, grain and hops, just like any other beer,” he said.

He’s right. Tastes like beer.

nice timing with the RNC…

coincidence? i think not

This is good news. I’ve been looking all over for this. I’ve looked ahead and over to the right, I just can’t find it anywhere but Mpls/St Paul

The flag pin is a nice touch.

It is indeed. Are you allowed to fly with pins? I need to fly to San Francisco tomorrow and I’m not sure how to handle my beloved “McGOVERN ‘72″ button.

Thanks. For personal reasons, I do not fly with pins. I had some time to kill between my flight, so I forged this with my blowtorch and hot glue gun while waiting.

I just had a tasty plastic cup o’ Schlitz on tap at the Saints game in St. Paul yesterday.

I thought you made better use of those layovers in the past, Senator.

I was using my hot glue gun!!!!! What better thing to do whilst killing time at an airport?

I think I might like the old iteration of Schlitz better than the new-old version. The “just the kiss of the hops” is gone from the label and I think the hops went with it. Schlitz has been my favorite lawnmower beer for a long time now because of those hops. Oh well. Perhaps the steep increase in hops prices drove them to look at the older, less hoppy recipe and gave them a good idea…
