Follow-on note. I excluded the highly speculative.....cans rumored to exist but little hard proof. In that crowd is the Pilsengold Bock, Krueger Special, Esslinger Bock Quart, etc. Oddly enough, the "likely not to exist" are by definition the toughest.

I think you have to add the Alpen Glen on your list to the "highly speculative" list.

So.... how are you going to choose from the master list? I think the idea was that everyone nominate 20 cans, then the 64 with the most get in. But most are now just adding cans they can think of that haven't been mentioned yet. So most of the 100+ nominations will just have one vote.

So you're going to have to make some decisions rather than the group making the decisions. Sounds like you need a committee and a rulebook to administer your seeding.

[cansnatcher]

Got it. I didn't realize there was another step in there. So for now we're just nominating cans. Then the votes come for seeding. #1 seeds are obviously going to be favorites, but you have to play the game to know for sure!

The Burger is here, at least twice. I listed it as Burger 2 gallon, as did Cansnatcher.
