Thinking about beers I used to remember but don't see in stores anymore- Stroh's, Blatz, Carlings Black Label, Olympia, Goebels.

Anyone got some others?

 

I haven't seen Falstaff, Hamms, and Lone Star in years.

 

Schlitz. I used to have a jigsaw puzzle with all of these cans on it...

 

here in texas you can get lone star at any wal mart and several convenience stores

 

Yeah- what happened to Schlitz, use to be #1 seller in D.C. area back in the 70s.

 

Jax, brewed in "Nawlins" from that clean Mississippi River water (NOT!)

 

I know Blatz is still around.

 

I have seen all of those beers in the last year at different stores. Mostly around college campus.

 

the Stroh's plant was bought out by yuengling a few years ago so.

 

Don't forget Billy Beer.

 

Piel's and Ortlieb's were the first beers I threw up to when I was a kid!!!!

 

Schlitz is still alive and well, at least in Southwest Michigan. Hamm's disappeared a few years ago, I really liked it too. I really hope Pabst does not go away.

 

Being from Pittsburgh I always liked Duquesne.....Fort Pitt and Silver Top were other beers that were dropped. I don't know what was in it but one or two bottles of Schlitz meant an instant headache for me.. Down here in "Hellsville" I used to buy Brown Derby because it was $4.00 a twelve pack. The most "gas" producing liquid I ever drank.. A buddy of ours bought it for a hunting trip. Three guys in a small trailer on a deer hunt in the Kiabab was almost unbearable..... ..... I don't see it anymore and don't miss it..

 

My Dad was a big time Oly drinker.

Here's an interesting article on how Oly died:

Neat case history. Worth a look.

I don't see Buckhorn or Shaeffer around anymore - great cheap beer (emphasis on Cheap).
