Dale's California Bar Find (1980s)

Dale filled the entire backseat and trunk up with indoor 30s cans!

Back in the 80s, Dale got word of a crawlspace under a bar that was loaded with 30s cans. His source said it was loaded with Blue Boar Ale OIs! He and his buddy Jeff dumped their way up to that small town deep in the Sierras and found Black & White IRTPs the day before hitting the bar. The bar was closed up and they raided the crawlspace for several hours starting at 2am, removing a case at a time of California 30s cans. Chances are if you have an indoor Buffalo OI on your shelf, it came from this find! There were multiple cases of Rainier cones, Lucky Beer & Ale OIs, Buffalos, Dutch Lunches, Burgermeister Beer OI, Regal Amber Beer Ois and a single Ruthstallers Gilt Edge OI but no Blue Boars....did they hit the wrong bar????
