On this day, January 24th in 1935, the beer can was "born."
Made of steel and weighing around 4 ounces, these robust vessels (which your needed a churchkey with a piercer to open) were introduced when the Gottfried Krueger Brewing Company became the first to sell beer in a can.
The innovation led to inspiring many, many honky-tonk songs such as the one tonight.
What are you listening to tonight?
