When is Beer Can Day?
Tuesday January 24thBeer Can Appreciation Day commemorates the great day in 1935, when beer was first sold in cans.
Although Krueger Brewing Company of Richmond, Virginia, made the first beer in a can, American Can Company made drinkable canned beer available. Just weeks before Prohibition was repealed, Krueger took the risk with the American Can Company. The hefty steel cans opened with a church key, weighing in at 4 ounces. The can was preferred by Loyal Krueger's drinkers over the bottle 9-1.
