OT - This will date me...
Remember beer can collecting? Yep, it was all the rage in the early to mid '70's. I had quite a collection at the time. I didn't keep it though, giving it away or tossing cans by the end of the decade.
Going through some boxes in the basement purging stuff I discovered a couple cans I did keep. One, the largest beer "can" I had collected, I turned into a small trash can. The other I just kept because it always made me laugh. I forgot I had these!
Anyone else collection beer cans way back when?

Spent many nights at the bar crying in my Red Neck, White Socks and Blue Ribbon Beer to some sad song on the jukebox....Like Ray Charles and "Take these chains from my heart and set me free" I'm old enough to remember when they came out with Beer in cans! No one wanted to drink from them because they were convinced that the cans would some how poison you, others said the Beer tasted bad from a can. Mike

YK,
Have you seen the gallon sized kegs that can still be bought?
In Virginia I can buy beer in any corner market and the supermarkets have the nice large gallon size mini-kegs. They are generally overpriced so Ibuy by the case though. Warsteiner's motto is "Life is too short to drink cheep beer." More useless info I have stuck in my head.

Certainly there is no hunting like the hunting of man and those who have hunted armed men long enough and liked it, never really care for anything else thereafter.

Another key marketing point for New Old Frothingslosh every year was: "Guaranteed to fit any shape glass".
I woulda sworn the beauty on the label went by the name of "Fatima Yechburg", or something very close to that.

I remember in that same time frame the old pull-tabs people would join into 'chains' and it was a tacky dorm-room thing for those of us who consumed lots of beer. A decade later, my wife and I moved into an older apartment building, with most of the tenants classy older people. Our neighbor across the hall was a widow who had saved her money and visited about every country you could name. Her apartment was modest, and tastefully decorated with artifacts she'd brought back from all over the world. BUT... at the doorway between kitchen and dining area, she had a curtain made of those darned beer-can tabs! I never could get over the irony.
The final irony was that her last name was, really, "Beer."

1964?? Kid, I got sox older than that! I took after my old man and was a "Burgie" man (San Francisco Brewing Co?).Ysabel Kid wrote:If I was drinking them back then, I would have caught hell at home. I was born in 1964, so I was only 16 when the '70's ended.
Well, I guess I had had a few by that point!

Beer can collecting. My brother and I had a huge beer can collection. The walls of our bedroom were covered. We had a few thousand. My brother now has a garage wall that is decorated floor to ceiling with those same and some new beer cans.
When I bought the house in Florida, there was and still is an unopened can of J.R. Ewings Private Reserve, not quite as old as what my brother and I collected but it is from 1981. I have offered it to many friends and family but nobody wants it.
