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…

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

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

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.

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.

The flag pin is a nice touch.

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

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.
