Buried at the end of the article is the real story. "Schlitz" hasn't existed since the early 70's. They cut costs and ruined the formula and brand. In 2008 it was "revived" and a new beer took the name. Now someone else is brewing a completely different reconstructed formula for "the last batch" and throwing the name on it, again. And im sure itll happen again and again after that.
Why is it Hasenpfeffer Incorporated in the jump rope rhyme they are singing as they skip down the street?
Probably because at least one of the characters is supposed to be Jewish, can't remember which one, they also sing Schlemiel, Schlamazel - unsure of spelling, which are both Yiddish words, although only Schlemiel is somewhat familiar to the public.

Did I hallucinate drinking it in high school around 92-94?
Is Schlitz the beer company that Laverne and Shirley work for before moving to LA?
They worked at the Shotz brewery, an obvious Schlitz standin.
Hasenpfeffer is a yiddish dish, here is a video familiar to some older generations of someone who wants to eat some Hasenpfeffer
