Brewery G Heileman Brewing Verified 05/05/2004
Type Tab (Pull), 12-2, Wide Date 1983
Company American Can Company Code 161

Name Red White Blue
Details Newer can variation has the long tappered neck. Theory is that this allows the top lid to be smaller diameter, and actually a cost savings design since it allows for less metal in the lid. May not seem like major cost difference, but over millions of cans produced, possibly so.
