I understand Pabst is using the old recipe, but it's not distributed here in New England as far as I know. I'd like to check it out. I like old man beers, as I call them, but many aren't what they were when I was a kid.

It may be nostalgic for many, but it's still "Schlitz" and "Pabst Blue Ribbon" here just south of Milwaukee (where it's brewed).

I restate my earlier observation - "Just like Schlitz is better than Pabst Blue Ribbon beer! Me? I prefer Heinekin's or Beck's, personally."

Try the Beck's Oktoberfest (if you can find it).

But Doc - I owe you big time, buddy. Let me see what I can do to honor your request. Would you care for some Hamm's too? I hear that's making a comeback!
