The Big Mac has a rendering of an actual part of Michigan right on the can and Strohs is a Detroit staple.

Re: Can That Best Represents Your State
For Oregon, probably any Blitz-Weinhard can. Before micros, there was only Blitz-Weinhard in Portland and Salem Brewing Assoc./Sick’s in Salem. So take your pick from the pic (sorry about the stickers on the can wraps in the pic....going through the USBC supplements and noting unlisted label variations.)

California.....so many choices....probably lands between Tahoe, Golden Gate, and maybe Sierra Nevada? Eureka is in the running (state motto)....don't have as obvious a "Lone Star" here.

Re: Can That Best Represents Your State
I really like the Big Mac can as a representation of Michigan because it is named for the bridge. For similar reasons, I really like this Pfeiffer ore boat can.
Focus: Cones and flats from Michigan, South Bend, and Fort Wayne. Foreign cans only if I bought them myself in the country of origin.

Re: Can That Best Represents Your State
While Eric suggested Blitz for Oregon, I'm thinking maybe the first Cascade flat top. Blitz is certainly the most identifiable label from the state but the Cascade has mountains, trees, etc. and is more geographically in tune. Granted the Cascades extend from Northern California (Mt. Lassen) up through Washington but they are centered in Oregon.
The most obvious choice for Oregon was never made as a can unfortunately. That would be "Beaver State". It would have been a great looking O/I from Salem - too bad.

Re: Can That Best Represents Your State
I know Texascans has recommended Lone Star for Texas, and I believe it is the best and most logical choice. However, I would like to nominate Texas Pride as the runner up, just in case Lone Star cannot fulfill its duties as the winner.

Re: Can That Best Represents Your State
I'm from the province of Ontario here in Canada and my first thought was Molson Canadian but that's what I am and
would not be representing my province, then Eric posted the most well known brand from his state and I thought of Carling Black
label or Carling Red Cap as they both originated here in Ontario.
So, since Ontario is known as one of Canada's playgrounds which includes many outdoor activities I think these two cans would
best represent my province.

Re: Can That Best Represents Your State
For Indiana, the following two would be good representatives, though Drewrys maybe better.
However, after living here a few years now, maybe this would be best:
Indiana now allows alcohol sales on Sunday! However, only noon to 8pm. How is it "good" between those times, but "bad" if you were to purchase 11:59am or 8:01pm?

Re: Can That Best Represents Your State
GREAT TOPIC!!!! With the way I organize my collection, I do try to have what I think is the best rep for each state - and happy to see some of the cans above put forward as CAN-idates as they are the ones I chose too - Big Mac-Michigan, Storz Farmer - Nebraska, West Virginia Special - West Virginia, Lone Star - Texas, Royal - Nevada, Black Hawk - Iowa, Olde Virgina for Virginia,
I am waiting for a Buckeye to nominate Buckeye, a Hoosier to nominate a Hoosier ... and while I call New Bedford my hometown - yes, Dawson, and Cape Cod are good ones, I think Bay State says it proudly!
But for my home state (home is where family is and my wife and kids are native) for Colorado, aka the Centennial State I put forward for CAN-idacy:
