Knowing MY relatives, they probably drank it all.

And I helped (belch).

My father used to drink these little fat beers with a big mouth. "Schlitz, Big Mouth" I think. Does anybody remember those?

Schlitz Beer. To this day, I still remember that in 1977, a six-pack of the stuff cost $2.05.

Me and a buddy would kick in a dollar each and one of us would also kick in the odd nickel.

hazily remembering those drunken daze.....

You can still find buildings (some still containing a bar) in Chicago with the Schlitz globe embedded in the facade . . . from the days when breweries owned bars.

Oly's part of the Pabst portfolio. Miller contract brews it for them.

My beer is Rheingold the dry beer, but a little Knick from time to time is fine.

It's tough to argue over a Utica Club, but Genesee 64 oz. will do in a pinch.

I don't know why they went under but I do remember some gay scandal with one of the owners...

Mickey's Big Mouth. Schlitz had 7-ounce "Little Joes."
