Months are required for its proper aging, in order that it may not offend your stomach. From 1660, when the Dutch scientist, Leeuwenhoek, was first to examine fermentation under a microscope, through over a hundred years of experiment, when scientists demonstrated that fermentation results from vegetable activity, to Pasteur who originated the accepted process of sterilization to kill ferments after their work was complete, the brewing of a cereal beverage has been the creation of science. You who savor the smoothness, the tang, the delicious flavor of Schlitz do not realize the vast work of chemistry and biology which lies behind this master brew. No "two-day" beverage, no "green" drink, no "experiment in velocity" yields flavor and purity equal to Schlitz. Such beverages, rushed through to meet a hurried demand, will set your stomach churning, cause flatulence and indigestion. Avoid these interior discomforts; drink Schlitz.
