Michigan Beer Cans - Version 1.2 : 01/21/2005

Back from Winterfest 2005 and another very enjoyable trip to Michigan. Many thanks for the hospitality of Don Wild and Chris Taylor, repeat visits to both great friends, and thanks to the Mid-Michigan chapter for hosting the show. Some highlights were two of the three known Regal dumpers reunited after many years (photos included with this MBC release) as well as three Honer's HP cones, offgrade, but still really nice examples.

Included with MBC version 1.2 are detailed pictures of the above mentioned Regals, some really cool Pfeiffer bank cans, upgrade pictures of some really nice Michigan variations I was able to add to my personal collection, as well as a number of Stroh variations. Future MBC versions will focus on documenting many of the Stroh aluminum cans.
