Schlitz Closes Its Historic Chapter as Pabst Halts Production

Pabst Brewing Co. is placing Schlitz Premium on hiatus due to rising storage and shipping costs, ending 177 years of production. A final batch will be brewed by Wisconsin Brewing Co. using the 1948 Schlitz recipe, and other retro brands like Blatz and Old Milwaukee may become harder to find as Pabst reshapes its portfolio, marking the end of an era for a beer long tied to Milwaukee’s heritage.
