Found: Vintage Beer Cans In Wall Of Lower Haight Apt.

Vintage Beer Cans Found In Wall of 301 Webster

Helped a good friend move out of what used to be my wife’s old apartment. Back behind the victorian moldings of their built-in bookcase were dozens of vintage beer cans—as if the former occupants would toss ’em up and over after they’d knock ’em back. A nice little time capsule of pull-top Lucky Lager, Miller High Life, Hamm’s, Rainier, and Olympia vintage beer cans.

Coincidentally, this was the day I had scored free tix to the Beer Shed at Eat Real Fest from Mario at Brewed For Thought. (Thanks anyway, man!)

“From the land of sky blue waters.”
Love the design of this Hamm’s tall boy.

Vintage tall boy Miller High Life and Olympia Beer Cans

Olympia … “It’s the Water.” Not to be confused with Hamm’s sky-blue variety.

And remember those Hamm’s “rippling” beer signs? Hypnotic.
