I collected empty beer cans from the age of about 18 until 24 (1972-1978). It was an age well before microbreweries, but there were dozens of regional brews around. Shockingly my parents didn't throw this collection away after being stored in their basement about 25 years. Here's a family shot:
One of the more interesting cans is the far left second row from the bottom. It is a Lite Beer brewed by Meister Brau which I assume was subsequently acquired by Miller Brewing. Nearly all of these were collected from the roadside, but I clearly remember drinking the Giant Food Premium Beer (in Virginia) - perhaps the nastiest beer I ever drank.![Eek! :eek: :eek:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
