Golden Glow....in Alaska?

Over the weekend while Metal detecting and trying to stay ahead of the inevitable rainstorm we decided to stay close to the side by side for a quick escape.
And in the area we started digging some IRTP Budweiser cans and a sad looking Golden Glow.ImageImageImageImageImageImage

Great Pix! My Propeller can by Golden West of Oakland was found in Hawaii, so it appears they shipped their product to the far corners of the West Coast!

@DanielinAk Sadly I was unable to confirm that Golden Glow beer or even Golden West brewery products were ever ordered through a distributor or an ad placed in the newspapers that could have confirmed that it was sold in Alaska on a regular basis.

@Cap-Sealed Ed....I was however able to confirm in fact that it was ordered in Hawaii. The four other states that had ads included Oregon, Nevada, Arizona and new Mexico.

Cap I have someone looking into Fairbanks papers also, looking for an ad that showing it was sold here.
I do this with every Beer can I find, but we haven’t confirmed the Golden Glow was sold through Fairbanks yet. And yet I still found one 30 miles from Fairbanks.

@DanielinAk I was able to confirm that a near-beer version of Golden Glow was sold in Alaska. That timeline would have been way before your can but maybe some form of distribution channels were maintained and used later.....
