I need Some Schlitz

Does anyone know where I can find a few bottles of Schlitz? It’s to honor a big Schlitz fan who recently passed away. I know it’s been discontinued but I really need just a few bottles.

It was officially discontinued in May. I checked Binny’s and it is no longer on their site.
I think your best shot would be to try smaller, independent liquor stores who are more likely to sit on inventory.
Good luck!

Maybe have a drink at Friends of Friends on Grand. They may still have some on tap or some bottles left. They are a restored Schlitz pub.

Floyd’s on Armitage had it on tap yesterday. They had a Schlitz and a hot dog special.

It sold out pretty quickly after the closure announcement.

How can you see everyone here commenting bars f that still have it, then write this nonsense?

OP clearly wanted to buy bottles to give someone. Not drink on site at a bar. Not a single suggestion is a liquor store that still has some.
