Hasn't it got a best before date? If so minus about 6 months of that.

Probably about 1980-1985 is my guess. I can't recall when ring pull tabs were outlawed, but probably about that time.

Nice Find...Do a internet search on the product line and you might be able to guess it's age. Pull tabs were basically no longer used after 1983...HH

that my freind is one old skunky can of beer --red white and blue was a sorry beer to start with * remember it was served on tap at a disco that had a $5 all you can drink "draft" beer nights ( 3.2 % for 18 year olds ) -- that I went to with "freinds" back in feb of 1979 in dayton, ohio on my 18th birthday . -- that stuff was real nasty "pig swill" beer -- and those old beavertail type pull off beer can tabs --are way old as well --they were outlawed long ago.---(1983 I think)

thats at least 1983 or earlier I'd say (so at least 26 years old or older) -- and totally unfit to drink at all .(even when it was new) :P :tard:

Civil War Hunter....I am an old beer can collector from way back when...It looks like an aluminum can...one of the first ones as I think it has the heavier bottom...not too old but still collectible! I have about 500 cans I collected when I was a kid! Keep diggin, you are gonna be a fantastic treasure hunter! :icon_king:

If you are going to save it you have to take the beer out or it will eventually explode and your house will smell like bad beer! Don't pull the tab, instead punch 2 very small holes in the bottom to drain it leaving the pull tab in tact. That is how the collectors will want the can! Thanks for the good post buddy! :thumbsup:

Nice find. Can't be worse than PBR beer

How about Billy beer ....... think it's called that. Jimmy Carters brother started his own spin off of beer. Bet that was some piss water

Dirty WhiteBoy · Apr 25, 2009

Haha Crazyjarhead!!! Billy's beer didn't last too long! I guess peanut oil is not so good for brewing suds! Billybeer sux! :drunken_smilie:

Don't clean it too much I had a full can of Coors that has the two circles on top. I was cleaning the top to post a picture and I guess I cleaned too hard and it started leaking!!

Now that is a find for the beer lover in me! Great job at finding it, and an even better job not poking it when you ran across it!

Keep it safe and DO NOT OPEN IT! That can of beer will gain value each year that goes by!

I have LONGED for one of the cans I have dug to have been full on many occasions, mainly because I was thirsty!

civil war hunter · Apr 25, 2009

Well theres more opened ones that i just pushed into the creek should i keep them?
Well i found awhile ago a full can of 1980s bud wiser still full under the leafs, i poked a hole in it when i got home and it spread everywere got my hands all stinky.
