No More Schlitz

Never actual had one. I kind of want to go buy a sixer. Anyone know where I can find it? I'm in Johnston.
In college I would often grab a 12 pack of Schlitz for our game day tailgates. Wanted to guarantee that I had beer to drink. Never had anyone drink my beer that I recall.

Schlitz is an interesting story. It was the #1 selling beer for years, before prohibition I think. Then in the early 70s they changed the recipe and it was terrible. And they became a joke and went in the tank.
Pabst bought the brand name maybe 10 years ago and started brewing the original recipe again. I had some and it was honestly pretty good! So kind of bummer they arent' making it anymroe.

I remember being able to get it about 20 years ago and it was a decent lager for the price.

Yeah, it’s actually been pretty good for awhile, like Grain Belt. But it just never seem to find its crowd.
Maybe some old-timers would remember but was this not available in Iowa after a certain period? When I was a kid I spent a week or so at my grandparents in NE Iowa, and we took a trip to Dubuque. I have a memory of my grandpa driving over the river to pick up Schlitz. Entirely possible I'm hallucinating part or all of that story.
I was a teenager in Carroll County in the 1970s and we were weaned on Schlitz.
My very 1st beer 50 years ago, we called it Shitz for obvious reasons.
