Schlitz Beer, the "beer that made Milwaukee famous", is to be discontinued.
Pabst Brewing Company, which owns Schlitz, is dropping the beer. Schlitz beer had been brewed for over 175 years.

According to USA Today:
Schlitz, the beer that made Milwaukee famous, is no more.
Pabst Brewing Co. is ending production of Schlitz, which began as a Milwaukee tavern brewery and was once America's largest brewer. The company, founded in 1849, was bought by Pabst in 1999.
To send the Milwaukee icon off, Kirby Nelson with Wisconsin Brewing Co. will brew a final 80-barrel batch of Schlitz on Saturday, May 23 at its Verona brewery. Nelson will then give a talk about the brand at 1 p.m.
Nelson said Schlitz deserves to go out with "dignity and respect." So, he'll be brewing with the company's specifications from 1948, when it was on top of the U.S. brewing industry.
