Thanks to everyone!
I found Schlitz in Bottles at the Sweetbay Supermarket. I was surprised to find it in bottles. I wish I could find the PBR on Tap somewhere close to TV, but at least I now have a source for take home for both Schlitz and PBR.

Best wishes and Happy Holidays to All...

Back in the day my dad worked for the electric company in Philly. He would routinely visit high users of electricity so scheduled a visit with Joe the owner of Scmidts Brewing in the city. He took a tour and saw lines and lines of beer being filled in bottles and cans. Funny obsrvation there was a line of Scmidts being filled right next to PBR and some other local brands. Asked what was going on he was told it is the same beer going into the different brand bottles due to "brand loyalty" of the consumers. He was contracted to fill PBR, Ballentine, and other brands for distribution. Same beer , different can/bottle

True story

In college we got deep discounts on pitchers of Schlitz and MAN what a headache I got from day 1......Not a big fan......

Any one from Toledo Ohio area remember Buckeye beer and the tv commercial that went with it. Early 60's

Genesee Cream Ale on Tap?
 

The dream of every western New Yorker - Genny Cream Ale on tap (with a beef on weck)!

I'm not from western NY and I *LOVE* Genny Cream Ale !

Haven't had one in QUITE a while though.

What is the beef on weck? Thanks.

Schlitz . . . "The beer that made Milwaukee famous!" Because it was so bad they used it to put out the great Chicago fire!

Schlitz was bought by Stroh Brewery Company in 1982 and then sold along with the rest of Stroh's assets to the Pabst Brewing Company in 1999 and Pabst discontinued the draft version of Schlitz in 2001 because of poor sales.

They still make that beer!!!

I craved Genny until I was up there in Rochester and saw the Genese river. It was green as the color of the can....never drank one after...Now Beef on Weck YUM! Wish I could get those rolls frozen and sent here...

Ah...Ballentine beer. Brings back memories. My dad worked for PRR. I remember on Friday Nights he came home from work with a quart sized bottle of Ballentine beer in a brown paper bag! My beer of choice in the 70's was Schlitz. We would drive over to Jersey from Philly suburbs on the weekend because the drinking age was 18. What memories!:laugh:

Hey Tainsley-Did the same thing in the old days only from Pa into Ohio where we'd get a Carling Black Label beer.Their catchphrase was " Mabel,Black Label,Carling Black Label Beer"

I remember the Yankee games with Mel Allen were sponsored by Ballantine beer. The commercial had a beer being poured into a Pilsner glass with the foam spilling over from the top. I was too young to drink at that time.

Now, it kind of makes me thirsty as I think of it. :beer3:

Beef on Weck
 

"Beef on Weck" is made with roast beef on a kummelweck roll. The meat on the sandwich is traditionally served rare, thin cut, with the top bun getting a dip au jus. Accompaniments include horseradish, a dill pickle spear, and french fries. (Fries sometimes have gravy - this is not health food!)

The kummelweck roll (sometimes pronounced "kimmelweck") gives the sandwich its name and a distinctive taste. It is topped with kosher salt and caraway seeds.
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

:laugh: Too funny...ah the good old days!

Next there will be a demand for Steel City Beer on tap.
