He said reduce brew time and use lower quality ingredients. They made skunk beer and most was returned .Schlitz went back to the old recipe but could not recover market share .

I can remember my dad drinking Schlitts, then Coors and even Michelob. He finally settled on Bud, then Bud light as he got into his 50s. I’m now going to be the same age as my dad when he went to be with our Lord and every year on his birthday I stop and grab a pepperoni pizza and a Bud. Personally, I enjoy craft beer, a good Belgian ale but my favorite beer at the moment since I live in Tokyo is Coedo White and Hitachino Nest, both Japanese craft beers.

Past Blue Ribbon has been my everyday choice for decades. It is clean and fresh tasting, with no odor or aftertaste. It is the beer that I reach for to accompany every meal (except breakfast!😁) I buy thirty (30) cans at a time at Wal-mart for less per ounce than I can buy cola! When I want a beer that "eats like a meal," I reach for Samuel Adams. Held up to sunlight in a Pilsner glass, it shows its gorgeous rufous color. It also is clean tasting, but filled with about half a-dozen flavors, and as maker Jim Koch says, "a head so thick, you can float a bottle cap on it!" A bottle of "Sammy" is always a treat for the senses of every beer lover!

Can't go wrong there. Get them often myself. - Craig

The original Michelob was my beer of choice since high school (I graduated in '83) till it was discontinued. Yuengling has been my go-to since. In fact, I'm enjoying one now. Don't recall ever having a Schlitz but remember my dad and his friends having it around back in the '70's. Think I'll look around for it and pick up a 6-pack for my own taste test.

Fun video. Thanks for posting. It's really hard to side-by-side taste test beer. Even in this video certain beers that you really liked upon first tasting, once you've had a bunch of different cheap beer on your palate you go back to it later and it doesn't taste good to you anymore. I bet you guys could do this 10 times and get 10 different winners.

You are absolutely right. The temperature and palate fatigue are big factors. It was very difficult haha. Still fun though. Thanks for watching, cheers!

The Narragansett is a contract beer as well. If you look at the can it says brewed in Rochester, NY. So basically you’re drinking a Genesee Beer.

Narragansett was a very popular beer in New England and was a major sponsor of the Boston Red Sox out of Cranston, Rhode Island. The brand went out of business but was brought back several years ago with great success. Cans of Narragansett featured in the film Jaws. “Hi, neighbor, have a ‘Gansett!”

I didn't see this in comments at least near top of them. One of the biggest differences between Schlitz and other American beers is the grain that is used. They brewed with rice because near Milwaukee there were large areas with wild rice and it was cheap and easy to get. They meant to change back to the usuals but people liked it so much they kept it. Just one fun side note the beer factory that Lavern and Shirly worked at was called Shots Beer which was an homage to Schlitz.

Ha! Very interesting. I know rice is very commonly used today but must have been an interesting change back in the day. Thanks for highlighting that!

Hahaha, this should be golden... like the high life! Plus don’t forget this buds for you and the mountains are blue! My favorite will be always the original American blue ribbon award winning Americas world’s fair! Still my favorite, red white and blue... with a ribbon on top! 🍻

Yuengling Traditional Lager is the best of the lot.

I’m sitting here with a glass of Hamms, laughing at these guys!

Grain Belt still going well in upper Midwest. First thing i do when I visit is buy a 12 pack in bottles. Very very good beer.

Miller and Coors (since it went nationwide) tastes like soap to me. College it was Buckhorn, Old Milwaukee, or anything else that was less than $5 a case. Old Style if we were splurging or buying "kegs". I actually like what people call "skunky" beer. Almost all are in green bottles. Heineken, Moosehead, Grolsch, etc. FWIW, I worked at Christian Schmidt Brewing Company for a few years until they closed in 1986. We had 100 labels. We also made Rolling Rock when they were om strike. Rolling Rock's recipe made little CO2 and we had to carbonate the heck out of it. Schmidt's beer actually made excess CO2 that we compressed, liquified, and sold or used for other brews. Schmidt's Classic was my favorite.

@fixed970

Loved the Schmidt’s wild life cans!

Just an interesting side note, Coors makes its big money with high-end ceramics for electronics, mostly as a defense contractor. The beer side of things acts mostly as a PR wing, though it's definitely a strong concern in its own right. In the early '90's I worked for a laser scribing firm, and a single Coors ceramic plate, about 4"x4", was about $100, and once it was scribed, punched, and snapped, was worth as much as $50K. Coors had the market cornered, and was the only manufacturer of the specific type of required, military-grade porcelain for certain defense contract circuit boards. The little firm I worked for (seven people) probably went through 200-300 plates per day, five days per week. (It took a lot of time to build up the power in the capacitor banks, and the system could only cut a half dozen or so pieces per cycle.) That's over $100,000/week that Coors got from us alone. (And we made about the same, I believe, after energy, equipment, payroll, and basic overhead. The two owners were raking it in.) (The most fun was the excimer laser, which could punch through a half inch of plate steel in under half a second. You'd do a x-ray resistant ceramic stencil first, and put that in the way of the excimer aperture and -- Flash! -- an 8"x8" area of steel plate would be cut into whatever shapes, to tolerances that could only be checked by electron microscope.)

I rotate between Hamms, PBR, Highlife, Old Style and Coors. After 20 years of mostly craft brew, ive gone back to my roots.

The sheer stress I feel watching videos on any macro beer review is I can actually sense them getting warm as discussion happens and I start wrinkling my nose and then I realize I am on a mote of dust around an obscure star and nothing matters and we are all just cosmic dust in the wind and then I sigh and then I want a beer.

I advise to try yuengling black and tan, good stuff.

I haven't had beer in years but I might try and pick up some Schlitz. I'm a history buff so I think it's neat that Papst brought back the original recipe.

I've never tried a Gansett but will look foreword to that day. I was raised on Budweiser and Miller and always thought that PBR tasted similar to Bud. Schlitz was the first beer I ever tried as a teen before moving on to better tasting brews. Keep it going guys.

Originally from RI. Growing up my father was a Gannsett drinker. He said the taste changed for the worse when they moved production out of state and stopped using the water from the Scituate Reservoir.

Now if they can only bring Stroh's copper kettle fire brewed beer back.

In beer taste testing, the taste gets better the more you drunk.

I generally prefer a rich malt taste without too much hops bitterness. I really like Newcastle Brown Ale the best of the commercially available beers. I also liked A-B's Red Wolf, which is no longer made, and Killian's Red. Of the typical American light lagers I like Narragansett the best. Have drunk many gallons of it in my life since, for more than half a century, I lived in RI. When I was a kid my parents favorite beer was Schlitz, although later on they developed a preference for 'Gansett.

@Deetman42

Жыл бұрын

Newcastle used to be my favorite beer. Now it's been bought by Heineken and in the USA the formula is changed and is brewed by Lienenkugel in California and I don't like it anymore. On a cruise this past summer they had Newcastle on the ship and on the bottle it said it was brewed in Tadcaster, North Yorkshire, England. It tasted great, just like I remembered!

My dad was a Schlitz drinker when I was a kid. Of the macrobrews you had here it is pretty much the only one I’d drink. I’m a craft brewing fan.

Miller High Life is the best of those.

Miller high Life in the bottle is always my go-to, the original Schlitz recipe is right up there and I'm glad they brought it back. It's just kind of hard to find where I live. Great show! This was a lot of fun. Thanks!

Schlitz was my favorite beer in the early 70s. They tried to speed up the brewing process and thus gain an economic edge over its competitors, and it backfired on them. One of the great all time blunders in the beer industry.

As a punk from the West Coast, PBR and Miller High life are my personal favorites and scene favorites. Cheap and good.
