Found this interesting post about the history of beer cans on Weburbanist. Key points: PBR was the first (of course), a bar in Virginia was the first place to sell cans (the South hearts beer cans), and in the 70s there were briefly push-button opened cans (ah, the kooky seventies).
Since no glass is allowed at Bonnaroo (which is less than 2 weeks away!!), I am glad to see that craft beers have started to make the move to cans. There will definitely be some Dale's Pale Ale in our cooler!
We need a Beers of the World review on Rochtaster, pronto.
