    Anyone Remember This Stuff?

    I never tried this...was it any good? I heard the containers are considered a collectors item.

    Containers, empty or full, are collectible. As for the beer, it wasn't great. Tasted kinda like Schlitz...

        I bought some back when it came out. Schlitz was about 100 times better than it. I thought about keeping a 6 pack for a collectors item, but after I drank some of it, I didn't want it around to infect the good beer.

            I was trying to say "Tasted kinda like sh_t...", but the forum content bot wouldn't let me do it...

              Interestingly enough, they've reintroduced the original Schlitz formula (as close as they can get it) in several major cities and it is outstanding (and beating expectations). The reformulated stuff (started in the 60's or 70's) was really the precursor to all the bland Bud-like beers that I can't stand.

              If you have a chance to try the new (old) Schlitz, give it a taste.

                That's good to hear... I'm sure the Schlitz name wasn't built on the watered-down mule p!ss that I remember...

                  Unfortunately, the words 'collectors item' is mis used much like the word antique.

                  I suppose it's technically a collectors item if you can get more than you paid for it, but I'm sure we're not talking any more than $20 or so here.

                    I remember that, but it was before I was of legal drinking age. That and Billy relieving himself on the airport runway are all I can remember about Jimmy's brother.
                    Seems like a vaguely remember a Willie Nelson story too, but we are going back a long ways and I can't be sure about that one.
