Beer: Happy Birthday to the Beer Can!
75 years ago today, beer was first put into a can by Krueger Brewing of Newark (followed by the first major brewery to do so, Pabst).
To celebrate I’ll be poppin’ some serious cannage all week. Woo-hoo! Sadly, the Duff can above is only an energy drink. However, a nice Sharpied umlaut would instantly convert it to imported energy drink, Düff. Price change!
Funny how the can is coming back in popularity, thanks to brewers like Oskar Blues who started canning in 2003 and even SF’s 21st Amendment in 2008. Now it’s pretty easy to find craft beer in a can. It’s just expensive. A four pack of Maui Brewing Company Coconut Porter will set you back almost ten bones. Y’ouch. But so damn tasty.
Avery just announced they’ll start canning their beers this April.
