First is a an old 4831 can and a can of 3031 from an old lgs c. 1970s. Then a can of IMR 4350, but the only blue one I have ever seen and then an unusual can of IMR 3031.

Maybe the 3031 was for the Australian market. Very cool.

For a time we would stop at a little liquor store and grab a sixpack of Miller light longnecks every evening.
One evening we didn't notice it until we had pulled out, but the necks on the bottles were all deformed. They kind of looked like something a glass blower had done, but the beer was fine.
The next evening when we stopped, mentioned to the owner about the deformed bottles, and he told us to bring them back, the company was offering a 1500 dollar reward for them. I told him they were probably still in the trash and I would bring them the next day, but he said you didn't open them did you. lol
It seemed the reward was for full bottles, the emptys were just glass. lol I always just figured that was the most expensive beer I would ever drink. lol

I have an old can of H-110 with a pop top that is upside down. Still has the price tag on it, $3.99.

Remember Billy Beer? I had a six pack of that before Billy Carter got his first. I drank it and of course those still full are about $300 a can to collectors. It really never caught on because it tasted just like PBR which is what Billy drank before Falls City Beer approached him about his own brand of beer.
