Nice going on the find.

USBC under rates this can. It is much harder than both of the Exports. With that said, they are still out there and you can find them over time.

I had a nice indoor full one a few years ago. always thought it was much tougher then the other commonly seen ones, BUT, Still couldn't sell it for any more then the common ones. Seemed nobody cared if it was a tougher variation. Just my 2 cents :smt017 :smt022 LEON.

Leon - Is this the version with or without the 3.2-7% alcohol statement? I have the alcohol statement but have never seen it without.

Jim - I agree that the Export variations are easier to come by. Which is tougher, the non-alcohol version of the can pictured above or the Master Blended Beer (156-5)?

Phil, I have never heard of the Special 156-2 coming without an alcohol statement. 156-5 is the toughest of all the Burkhardt's.

I saw it (L156-2) on your Conehead Composite (JH #1520). Maybe that was a may exist/needs to be identified item? Agreed on 156-5, hardly see it.

Not sure which edition you are using, but it hasn't been on the composite for a while now.
