Schlitz Beer was discontinued by its parent company, Pabst Brewing Company, according to Milwaukee Magazine. Zac Nadile, head of brand strategy at Pabst, said continued increasing costs prompted the decision.<\/p>\n

\u201cUnfortunately, we have seen continued increases in our costs to store and ship certain products and have had to make the tough choice to place Schlitz Premium on hiatus,\u201d Nadile said in a statement to\u00a0Milwaukee Magazine. \u201cAny brand or packaging configuration that is put on hiatus is still a cherished part of our history and hopefully our future. We continually look for opportunities to bring back beloved brands, and customer feedback is important in shaping those discussions,\u201d he continued.<\/p>\n
