Dug Black Label soft top as recently as last night. Natick Brewery. Seen so much Black label lately, I've started seeing them in my sleep at night.

[MarkB]

thanks. I also forgot Wiedemann. (I can't believe I forgot Naty Boh!)

Also, I was thinking specifically of non-aluminum cans with aluminum lids...

Narragansett Lager, 12's and 16's. They're the lids with the red pilsner glass, never seen the ale, though.

[jwcans]

Foxhead 400

[Wheaton]

Old Style. (Steel can, aluminum lid.)

Ace from Heileman

How about Iron City? Don't know how many of those I pulled out of totes hoping to find the first Zip (which I finally got).

The Krueger softtops were made by Narrangansett - mine even says Narragansett on the top and has that red glass. If anyone has a Krueger Ale softtop, I'd be interested.

[arkay007]

I have a steel 15 oz Hamms from San Fran with an aluminum lid.

[Scott Rollert]

Too lazy to write down labels, so here's a pic of my meager b/o super soft collection. They are the first 2 rows of the pyramid on top of the shelves. Not pictured is a Brew 102 16 oz. from Boardman. Kinda skimmed the replies, there's also Walters Bock and Tivoli Bock if not already mentioned.

[Ted Wolfe]

Augustiner (A. Wagner)

[Leon]

If your list is going in Alphabetical order you should have the Altes listed first in the A's. Did not see it on list but I have one. Possibly the only one known? I may have others but will have to look. LEON.

[Lovegun]

Cool thread! Gambrinus 12 0z. from August Wagner

Greg

[Leon]

Nobody going to say Budweiser & Busch? LEON.

[Rockbobford]

You just did!!!

[txican]

The first dump i ever dug was full of Pearl and Lone star soft tops and a few Schlitz.
man I thought I was finding stuff that had never been seen! lol I must have E mailed
Every collector in Texas ( sorry Steve F ) and bugged them till they came and looked at my dump. well I know better now but I still like the soft tops. pretty cool sub group.
Andy

[Beamer]
