I don't understand the Bad Rap that these standard type beers keep getting. It is akin to "I'd never shop at KAY_MART". This kind of silly, out-of-hand, class rejection is unfair.Just because this beer has been relegated to the cheap Domestic section of the beer Aisle does not make it automatically a crappy cheap beer- more a "corporate takeover" by distributors that are vieing for valuable display space. Consider for a moment that until superstores started to cary "Imports", Schlitz was one of our mainstay beers. It was the beer that many Football games were sponsored by, backyard bar-b-ques became livelier with, backseat dates lasted longer because of. I have seen brand loyalty move from honest american products(beers) to imports and then hybrids with nothing more to offer than a fancy label or catchy name- including inuendo[nude beer], and dopey [dead guy ale] names. It's like people dream up a funny name and invent a beer, any kind to affix the lable to- not generally, just in some cases. I agree with some of the people in this thread- Schlitz comes in at a "not bad beer"-to "fairly tasty!". When did "domestic beer" become a bad word?

Decent weight to this brew. Smelled a little bitter to me; but had a decidedly smooth, robust flavor. Pint after pint- consistent good tatste. Goes well with salty foods as well as creamy soups, Good color and lasting head.
