Beer: The Designs of Drinking
Wine labels have recently received acclaim for their more astute designs so its high time beer branders were awarded the same salute. A new coffee table-topper from Chronicle Books, Beer: A Genuine Collection of Cans, peers into the 1,400-plus collection of beer can-enthusiast John Russo and presents nearly 500 of the most interesting finds that represent craft breweries now out of business and iconic brands that have continually altered their image throughout the last half decade. Compiled by Dan Becker (Russo's stepson) and Lance Wilson, the book is a glimpse of drinking days of yore and an ode to the long lost cone top and crowntainer cans. Bottoms up!

#9 is my fav! :)
I love the fact that more of these breweries were in Pennsylvania than any other state. Philadelphians still have a thing for microbreweries and obscure beer.
Is the Dharma logo on the back?
I can't believe you left out "Old Frothingslosh" brewed by the Iron City Brewery in Pittsburgh and featured the 'lovely ladies" of the steel mills in the sixties.
Seattle's Thomas Kemper stopped brewing beer and just puts out a root beer line now. They had a Helles Ale that had the distinct flavor of blueberries, and a beautiful label.
