Happy 75th Birthday to the beer can

On this, the (almost) 75 birthday of the beer can, I keep my post simple.

Looking forward to 75 more years of canned beers! (Why shouldn't I live to be 120?)

The Who featured on this Schlitz breweriana

We have a longtime friend of the museum (Pete Loucks in Austin, Texas) to thank for this great piece of breweriana from the early 80's! Fans of 'The Who' and fans of 'Breweriana' should both appreciate this classic. Thanks for the donation, Pete! In the beer can museum's hallowed halls, it causes quite a big s-s-s-sensation! (get it?)

That must've been a great show!

Black Label Beer Banner ad

This new piece of breweriana gracing the museum rafters gives new meaning to the term 'banner ad'! Many thanks to the curator's brother Scott for this fine Christmas gift that will be appreciated by fans of Black Label beer.

VIP tour plus a glimpse at our official sweatshirt

Had the pleasure of giving a VIP tour to my brother, Chris, Saturday afternoon. You can see his smiling face in the picture above - and you can see a glimpse of my official curator's sweatshirt - thanks to my loving family for this great Christmas gift!

Season's Greetings from the Beer Can Museum!

Thanks to the curator's son Andrew Logan for his help with the card (as is tradition!).
I hope your holiday season is filled with peace. Have a healthy and happy 2010.
Merry Christmas from the Beer Can Museum...

When in Utica, NY...

Whenever we drive across New York on the thruway, we make it a point to stop for a break (read: brewery tour) at the West End/Matt's Brewery in Utica, New York. From Utica Club, to Matt's, to Saranac Black & Tan, they have always known how to brew good beer in Utica! Today I highlight just a few Utica Club cans from the museum shelves for your viewing pleasure. I really could've focused more when I snapped this picture!

Doll House Beer Cans

I always get a kick out the fact that the manufacturers of 'dollhouse miniatures' remember to create tiny beer cans for use in doll houses. We have a nice little group of these cans in the Beer Can Museum, so today I share them with you all for your viewing pleasure. Note the brands; Colt 45, Schlitz, Heineken, etc. Intricate details include the stay on tabs.
