Schmidt 'Big Mouth' beer - not Schlitz. I still have a few of those bottles around. Schmidt was brewed here in St. Paul. I drank most of them all at one time or another. What really killed the well known regionals was the loss of their honest, original identities with the post-war rise of food and beverage chemistry and the simultaneous business climate that sought market strategy over perfected substance in the manufacture of any product. Micro brews, luxury sedan brands, artisan breads, etc., etc., etc. will go through the same de-evolution if they are attractive enough for the mass producing conglomerates to buy.
In the end, all beer is reduced to piss. Brew your own and save money on the input end.
