Schlitz makes reappearance in Chicago beer market

Pabst Brewing Company looks to be marketing nostalgia as it reintroduces Schlitz beer in Chicago this week.

The beer was once a top-selling beer brand. But the Woodridge, Illinois-based company changed the brew's formula in the 1970s and sales dipped.

Schlitz was first introduced in Chicago at the 1893 World's Columbia Exposition. Read more
