The lineup of brand names now owned by Pabst reads like
a who's who of small midwestern breweries of the 60s;
Falstaff, Stag, Carling Black Label, Blatz. Pabst owns
Old Style, Old Milwaukee, Schlitz, Schaefer, Olympia,
Lone Star, Pearl and Rainier from other regions of the
US. None of them, I would suspect, are as good now as
when they were independently owned.


As a home wine and beer maker, I don't buy much beer and when I do,
it's almost always Chesterfield Ale or Yuengling Porter. So I don't
pay close attention to goings-on in the brewing industry, but I
thought Stroh's bought both Schlitz and Old Milwaukee quite a few
years ago.

Right. And then Pabst bought Stroh's.

vince (who will be buying Guinness on tap from April 6 to April 20,
while in Ireland, and then Italian wines for two weeks, and then
British ales for ten days before returning to the States.)

Bon voyage and have a great trip !!
