We’re Out of Schlitz
So Schlitz was not a part of my beer culture, since it was not one of my dad’s choices. But when I moved to the Chicago area, its nearly ghostly presence was pretty strong. In 2011, Chicago designated seven of Schlitz’ former tied houses, plus their delivery stable in Hedgewisch, as city landmarks. (The Landmark Designation Report can be read on the Wayback Machine.)
No doubt some of you have some Schlitz memories. The closest I came was back in the 90’s, when I saw the Billy Goat had a tap handle for “Billy Goat Dark,” which turned out to be Schlitz Dark.
