Happy Beer Can Appreciation Day!

On January 24, 1935, the first commercially sold canned beer, Krueger's Finest Beer, hit the market in Richmond, VA, thanks to the Gottfried Krueger Brewing Company of Newark, NJ and American Can Company, launching a revolution in beer packaging that consumers loved for its convenience. One story states they shipped the test run of 2,000 to Richmond was that was the furthest market they reached and did so in case the experiment failed. This "Canned-versary" marks the start of easy chilling, no deposit hassles, and a fresh taste, making beer history.

Everyone stay safe out there this weekend and make sure you stock up on some beer cans in case you get stuck at home with the snow and ice. Cheers 🍻

Happy National Drinking Straw Day!

While the modern straw was patented in the 1880’s, it is believed the Sumerians used the very first drinking straws for drinking beer. Archeologists speculate they used the straws to avoid the solid byproducts of fermentation that would have sunk to the bottom. The oldest drinking straw known to be in existence was found in a Sumerian tomb dated 3,000 B.C.E. This found straw was a gold tube inlaid with a precious blue stone.

Many companies make reusable and/or compostable straws today as a way to help curb plastic waste.

Cheers🍻
