When you’re out of Schlitz,

I liked Schlitz, but I also like Pearl and Lone Star.

We tried to log a well near Corsicana on New Year's Eve during a heavy rain but slid off the rig road about a 1/4 mile from location because of the flooding. I didn't drive my Crown Vic since the New Year's Eve call out caught us by surprise and I was in no shape to drive so I just crawled in the logging unit and crashed out on the way to location.

The rig tripped in the hole and circulated and everything else shut down waiting on in to dry up; nobody could move. On the second day, I got a ride to town to pick up some supplies for my crew. I threw in a six-pack of Pearl because I knew we wouldn't be working for a day or so. Everybody chowed down on the bologna sandwiches and chips and sodas and stuff, but no one would touch the Pearl. That six-pack got tossed in a tool bin and remained there for at least a year.

Haven’t looked for it in a while, but it got hard to find. Hoffer’s drive in, in Hallettsville had 12 packs of it a few years back.

I had to run into town for a couple things. I looked for Schlitz and couldn't find any to try before it's gone for good ¯\(ツ)/¯

It was you trashing Olympia when it's dead and can't defend itself. I've never had a Schlitz :flipoff2:

It deserved to die.

Old dude I worked with 15 years ago convinced me to grab a 6 pack. I about choked on it and handed him the other 5. He took 1 swig and said "that tastes nothing like Olympia". We dumped the rest of them out and went back to Bush. :stirthepot:
 
First and only time I ever got a real hangover and alcohol poisoning was from Schlitz when I was 20ish. Early 00s it was dirt cheap even by dirt cheap beer standards. Started out drinking MD20/20 and Schlitz at a buddy's apartment near the river. More people come over, they pick me up more Schlitz. We go to the river, hit the beer store first, more Schlitz. Drank at the river all night.

Next thing I know I'm waking up on the concrete railing to the stairs coming back up from the river with the sun coming up. Then I realize I'm sorta glued to it, except it's puke. Then I realize my jacket is gone along with my wallet and my cigs. Stumble back to my buddy's apartment and knock on the door, he answers looking about as rough as I do. Thankfully he's got all my ****. Said I was projectile puking bright green all over the place. No chance they could carry me back up the steps from the river so they put me on that railing so I couldn't pass out face down and took all my **** so I couldn't get robbed.

Turns out I drank 68 beers out of the 3 24 packs. The other 3, some Taco Bell, and some unfiltered Camels had me feeling much better by the time I got home. That was also the first and last time I ever drank Schlitz.
 
There was a Baltimore Colts player named Art Donovan, he played in the 50's, was in the pivotal 1958 Colts-Giants game, was a pro bowler when it mattered and was inducted into the NFL hall of fame. He was famous around here and was a complete goof ball. Tough as nails, sausage fingers, no neck, WWII vet, was on late night talk shows when they were funny.
He owned a country club around here, just tennis and a pool and an event venue, which was just an excuse for him to have a sweet mahogany bar room for him and his friends to hang out. He only drank Schlitz from a can. That's it, no liquor, no Budweiser, just Schlitz, and it seemed like he had 20 every night. Whenever I was there for an event, he'd be sitting in the corner telling jokes and running the room, it was always an honor to have a Schlitz with him and joke around while he was holding court. I have a signed Schlitz can on my shelf.
 
Schlitz...my grandpa would drink one a night after work , sit at the table , Schlitz , Camel non fliter shorty , and a jar of pickled pig hocs and feet .

I had a Schlitz a couple years back at a restaurant here in Portland Maine , The Great Lost Bear, sold it in 16 oz cans.
Ive been a PBR drinker since the late 80s but have been into Narragansets of late .
