Last call for Schlitz beer.
According to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, the Wisconsin Brewing Company announced it’ll brew a final 80-barrel batch on Saturday.
The final brew, per the report, comes with permission from Schlitz’s owner, Pabst Brewing Company, which stopped brewing Schlitz months ago, per WQOW.
The Journal Sentinel reports the last batch will use Schlitz’s specifications from 1948.
Kirby Nelson with Wisconsin Brewing Co. said the final brew will be “Wisconsin Brewing Company’s love letter to our state.”
The final will be available for pre-order on May 23 on Wisconsin Brewing Co.’s website, according to the outlet.
The beer will then be available on June 27.
Per the report, Schlitz was founded in 1849 as a Milwaukee tavern brewery by August Krug. Joseph Schlitz acquired and renamed the brewery Joseph Schlitz Brewing Co. following Krug’s death in 1856.
