Here are some of my favorites. First pic is my favorite non instructional cans. 2nd pic is my favorite instructional cans
And third is my favorite dumped it myself cans. The Old Wisconsin OI is also a fav on the dumped it myself list but tried to limit to 6 cans per pic. Hard decisions!

This one was the Holy Grail as a kid. I got to root around the brewery while it was still abandoned with hopes of finding cans, but they were long gone and I was too cautious to climb around in the buildings that were falling apart.

This one because as a kid when I first found one of these, is was similar to the way the can had transistioned. It was in an old resort area where houses used to be but were no longer. The Busch cans at the time only had the trees, and no houses.

I am probably forgetting something but here are some favorites.

Berghoff 1887 - This is the last can in my collection that I still have from childhood dumping.

Fox Deluxe - Anything from Fox Deluxe in Grand Rapids is a favorite for me. This is a tough can that I got from Leon.

Menominee - After John McGuire passed, I wanted a "souvenir" from his collection. This is it.

Old Crown - My Dad's favorite can. He remembers these from when they were in the grocer's cooler.

Patrick Henry - This is my "souvenir" from Dave Launt's collection. I got it directly from him at the last Patrick Henry show he attended.

Favorites.jpg
Focus: Cones and flats from Michigan, South Bend, and Fort Wayne. Foreign cans only if I bought them myself in the country of origin.

The color variation for one brewer is awesome
Interestingly, the colors used are opposite of the traditional coloring for the product. Red usually goes with beer, while green usually goes with ale cans. This not a hard and fast rule, but more of tradition. Maybe breaking with tradition made their product stand out a bit more on the shelf?
