Answer 2

Schlitz Beer has always tasted, "Green" , Brassy, and like somebody left an old Church Key in the bottom of the vat ... You'd have to wonder anyway about whether or not you REALLY want to drink a Beer made by a guy named, Papa Joe Greasydick ....... Schlitz is nasty, which is why Stroh's bought them out, and Stroh's is just as nasty, and yet it amazes me why people still drink it ... No accounting for taste, I suppose ... Schlitz is being brewed again by Pabst, and that too is amazing because PBR is really good Beer and tastes nothing like either Schlitz or Stroh's ... PBR is clean tasting and refreshing and is of consistent Quality ... I'm guessing they are marketting Schlitz again for Nostalgic reasons, or maybe they think there are so few of us left from the last Generation that nobody remembers how awful the stuff was in the first place ... Of course, a lot of the current generation is taste free anyway, and they will probably never notice ... The Quatermaster used to send us Pabst Bue Ribbon for our Beer Ration, in country, as a joke because the watercraft that we worked on was called a, PBR ....... That was a lifetime ago, and Schlitz is still nasty ... " The Beer That Made Milwaukee Famous" What the hell is Milwaukee famous for ??? Goldman's Jewelers, maybe ... Laverne & Shirley ... Cunningham's Hardware ???

The Joseph Schlitz Brewing Company was an American brewery based in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The beer it produced, Schlitz, was often considered the archetype of working-class beers. It has one of the best-known slogans in the American brewing industry: "The beer that made Milwaukee famous".

The company was founded by Joseph Schlitz, who came to America from Mainz, Germany in 1850, at the age of 20. Schlitz flourished in the frenzied beer industry of pre-Civil War Milwaukee, where saloons and breweries sprang up by the hundreds, and in 1856 he took over management of the large brewery owned by the recently deceased August Krug. Two years later he married Krug's widow and changed the name to the Joseph Schlitz Brewing Co.

The company really began to succeed after the Great Chicago Fire of 1871, when Schlitz donated thousands of barrels of beer to that city, which had lost most of its breweries. He quickly opened a distribution point there, beginning a national expansion.

Schlitz died May 7, 1875, when returning to visit Germany. His ship hit a rock near Land's End, England, and sank.

The company flourished through the 1970s, being ranked as the No. 2 brewery in America as late as 1976. But problems with its production, specifically its attempt to cheapen the brewing process by using a high-temperature fermentation, which produced a product that the public deemed inferior, combined with a crippling 1981 strike by workers at the Milwaukee plant, led to serious financial difficulties. On June 10, 1982, the Joseph Schlitz Brewing Co. was acquired by Stroh Brewery Company of Detroit, Michigan. Schlitz beer is still produced, but in relatively small quantities.

The rights to the Schlitz name now belong to the Pabst Brewing Company.

What remains of the historic Schlitz Brewery complex has been transformed in to a business park called Schlitz Park. Many of the buildings, including the Keg House, Bottle House and Malt House, have been turned into commercial and governmental office space and a middle school.
