Where have all the old-school beers gone?

Schlitz is still around, sort of. About a decade ago, when the "Ice" beers were all the rage, Schlitz Ice was actually pretty good.

I don't know about Blatz or Jax.

Falstaff is barely hanging on.

I think Stag was bought out by Miller, but I don't know if they kept making it or closed it down.

Old Style, which for some unknown reason I associate with Vikings and medieval Englishmen, is still around, but good luck finding it.

Meister Brau, the beer commercial I remember most from the 70's, is owned by Miller. It's not TOO hard to find, but I miss the commercials.

Am I right in thinking there used to be a seperate beer from Pabst Blue Ribbon called just Pabst? Either way, despite the glut of Pabst Blue Ribbon On Tap bar signs, it is almost impossible to find PBR on tap anywhere. You can still usually find it at convenience stores, though.

Pabst, I think, owns Black Label and Lone Star.
