The National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum in Milwaukee is celebrating the demise of “the beer that made Milwaukee famous” by releasing two limited-edition Schlitz Bobbleheads.
The bobbleheads feature the Schlitz Golden Goddess sitting on a world globe beer tap and holding up the globe with the Schlitz logo.
“We’re excited to unveil these bobbleheads in celebration of the 175-year run of Schlitz beer,” Phil Sklar, National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum co-founder and CEO, said in a statement. “With the help of its iconic logo, ‘the beer that made Milwaukee famous’ has embodied the spirit of Milwaukee for the better part of two centuries.
“Schlitz will be missed by many, but these bobbleheads will be a must-have for Schlitz fans everywhere and the perfect way to remember an iconic beer that made Milwaukee famous!”
Schlitz was founded in Milwaukee in 1849. Its last batch was brewed in May.
Kirby Nelson announced he and Wisconsin Brewing Co. would brew one more batch of the beer based on a historical recipe. The ode to Schlitz will be released at the taproom on June 27.
