Schlitz malt liquor of course. If you are talking about cans that are out today, Sierra Nevada cans aren't bad. 21st ammendment makes good stuff that is in cans.

Oscar blues, Avery, Sixpoint and Sun King to name a few more.
If you're asking about value in your collection, this isn't really the place, we're mostly about making beer, not Breweriana.
You pretty much want to go to sites specifically about collectibles. http://www.breweriana.com/

Old cans were made so that you had to have a tool to open them. They actually punched triangular holes it the top.
Not so old cans were a lot flimsier and had a ring on top that you would pull on and a section of the top would come out!
Newer cans have a tab that you lift and a section of the top folds inside the can.
And the newest ones have that and another section that you push in!

They aren't refillable.

Your beer can collection looks astonishingly like mine, which I started during a trip to Ohio in 1973! Some may be worth five bucks to the right person (Steelers fan?) but mostly it's just that the labels are cool all together.

Here's a few you might like. I collected most of these in the wild. The Pabst can has instructions on the back on how to open it. They're easy to follow!

So Iron City beer is brewed in Latrobe now? I guess just the home offices in Pittsburgh? The Iron City Amber looks interesting. Probably won't find it east of the Mississippi though, right?
