Anyone else remember when they came out with the original Tall Boy… 3/4 of a quart in a can. I was a senior in high school. They were very popular !!!

I used to drink a lot of Schlitz at an old dive bar in Chicago when I was a younger man. Good times.

It was also the first can of beer I ever drank when I was a teenager on a duck hunting trip on the south shore of Long Island with my uncle many years ago.

I am fairly certain that Schiltz beer is the first beer to touch my lips.

Way back when I was a child, my father was in the Air Force. He was stationed in England. The airbase had a fast pitch softball team, that competed with the other bases in the area. Anyway, the fans obviously liked to drink beer. There were open 55 gallon drums filled with empty beer cans, mostly Schiltz beer with yellow jackets hovering around. The games provided my first paying job. If you retrieved a foul ball, you got paid with something from the concession stand.

Wasn't Shlitz Malt Liquor in a kind of blue can and had a bull on it? Seems what I remember from high school in the late 70's. "The Bull", or maybe I drank too much of it and toasted my memory
