Re: Top 10 Michigan cans
Funny/odd/coincidence just a few weeks ago on July 7th in here we both mentioned wanting a Michigan Old Gold & I said the 4 Panel. Now you got one. Devine Intervention maybe

Re: Top 10 Michigan cans
Getting ready to (carefully) drink some Old Detroit out of new addition....Pre-Pro Goebel glass.
I always thought Goebel should have keep that emblem.
Probably hasn’t had beer in it since the Woodrow Wilson administration.

Re: Top 10 Michigan cans
Thought I would add some updated pictures.
Michigan cans get no love but I know there is still a hard core group of us out there!
To answer Leon’s question, the Old Detroit is a new can and they still brew it up in Frankenmuth.

Haven’t seen the yellow background Old English, I have the black flat and the cone. Great design, great can. Nice.Clarkston1 wrote: ↑Mon Feb 11, 2019 6:43 pm B8F1B3DA-26BB-4650-B942-AA61F01010AB.pngHad a chance to upgrade my old dumper. Tough to get this Frankenmuth clean, a sleeper of a can.

Re: Top 10 Michigan cans
The Frankenmuth Ale “Bulb Top” cone with the black-space e is one of my favorite cans.
Picked this one up from Chuck a few months ago after he upgraded!!

Re: Top 10 Michigan cans
I guess I might as well keep this old post alive.
Just added the Schmidt’s “short label flat”....a former Stark can.
For posterity I’ve included a picture of Chuck Starrett’s TWO examples....including the best known example on the left
Michiganders obviously like to retire down here in Florida

Re: Top 10 Michigan cans

Probably one of only Michigan cans that’s rarer than a Regal!

You got that right Kurt, souvenirs from the adventure, and thanks for the shout out!
I know Ted can appreciate that, nice Goebel Goebel's.
Here's a couple tuff Michigan tabs, that I "Dumped myself" I'd say in the top 10 of MI tabs...?
Bosch Premium Zip, and the single faced Strohs Zip

Re: Top 10 Michigan cans
Those are some killer zips. I’m pretty confident I’ll eventually find a 1 sided strohs zip.
I rarely dig Any Michigan tab that isn’t a strohs.
Here’s my 2 tough Michigan tabs.
Dumped the pfeiffer fan tab
Strohs is a $5 find at Cabin Fever. Very underrated can!

Ted,
As much as you dig I'm sure you will, (Beast of Burden dug one on a trip we took in May, post forthcoming)
Nice Pfeiffer, would love to dig one of those. I'm still after a Pfeiffer tear drop zip.
I have only dug a Strohs pint once, and not that tough one.
Forgot about this beauty, another tough MI tab I dug, the Detroit Drewrys

I forgot about that Drewrys fan tab. That’s another that I’m almost confident I’ll find. More so than the strohs honestly.

Re: Top 10 Michigan cans
Here’s my “top 10” plus a few honorable mentions. Not including the few I recently posted.
Dumped a vast majority of these. Photo quality sucks. Completely out of room here.

I acquired the goebel 16, newer bantam ale, and the bottom row cans. Dumped the rest. However i have dumped the metallic fox deluxe too, that specific example was left out of the picture.

Re: Top 10 Michigan cans
Here is what I have left from my old dumped it myself collection down here in Florida.
Also back in Michigan somewhere in the attic is a 16oz Blue oval Goebel, T-Bird Goebel, Yellow oval Altes crowntainer, a few different Pfeiffer scenic series, and a Altes Sportsman that I dumped years ago also.
Great memories!
The Pfeiffer is IRTP
EDiT - Added a few more old dumped it myself cans - I forgot I dumped a Burger Brau in Michigan so I included it in here.

Re: Top 10 Michigan cans
It took me years to dig a decent Schmidt’s cone.
Every single one was severely sun faded. One of those cans that needs to be buried for a chance of survival
