Teecycle Presents: That’s some good Schlitz

June 24, 2008

“Smells kind of like county fair.” This was my first reaction to the new (old) Schlitz. If you haven’t heard, the beer that made Milwaukee famous has returned to its original formula. It’s not bad. I’d order it again if for nothing else than the vintage label and longneck.

Schlitz

As for the new (old) shirt, it’s from my friend Graham from what he says is his favorite bookstore: Strand Books. And just like vintage Schlitz, this vintage shirt goes best with hamburgers. Specifically, Sobelman’s burgers, which for my money is hands down the best damn burger in Milwaukee. Or should I say, the best burger for someone else’s money, since Graham and his wife Katie treated Jess and me.

Good company, damn tasty burgers, vintage beer and, of course, awesome t-shirts on a summer night in Milwaukee. Life doesn’t get much better than that.

    I recently ventured north and just missed out on some Gusto! Every place I went had the old new, not the new old and I can get those cans anywhere.

    I do enjoy the advertising, tho:

    If the B-cards were anywhere near medium, this shirt would be double sold.

    Joe: Schlitz’s “You only go around once, so grab for all the gusto you can” (or something like that) was my dad’s HS graduating class motto.

    Chris: I’ll keep looking for you.

    Lindsay: Thanks! Shirt’s in the mail.

    Hey thinks for the link to my Schlitz review. I’ll leave with one of my favorite jokes I heard from some old guy at a Polish bar in Chicago..
    “Why shouldn’t girls drink beer at the beach? They might get sand in their Schlitz”

    Cheers!
