Penny must generate a lot of laundry throughout the day! For decades Tennent's Beer was famous for showing "Lager Lovelies" on their cans. Most sets showed a variety of ladies looking sexy (or sometimes not so much), but this set was dedicated solely to Penny. By 1990 they decided not to put their Lager Lovelies on their cans, so now they have boring cans that nobody talks about.

Second coolest name in Cincinnati Bengals history. I'm still a bit partial to Boobie Clark. Ickey had a great rookie season in 1988, helping the Bengals to Super Bowl XXIII. He was best known for his "Ickey Shuffle" dance after each of his touchdowns, and even brought the shuffle back decades later in GEICO commercials ("Get some cold cuts, get some cold cuts..."). He tore his ACL early in his second season and was out of football by the time he was 26. I got to talk with Ickey for a few minutes when he was in Tampa for the 2009 Super Bowl. Really friendly and funny guy!

DuBois Budweiser Tray – Unbeknownst to most people, Budweiser was originally a style of beer rather than a brand. The style originated in the city of Budweis in what is now the Czech Republic. This meant that anyone who brewed that style of beer could call their beer Budweiser. Even Miller brewed a Budweiser back in the 19th century. And as you can tell by this tray, the DuBois Brewing Company in Pennsylvania did too. And Anheuser-Busch was unhappy with them for that! A-B and the DuBois Brewing Company fought it out in court off and on for around 60 years, and then in 1967 DuBois was sold to the Pittsburgh Brewing Company, and sadly, shortly thereafter, DuBois Budweiser and the DuBois Brewery would cease to exist.

I met Iron Maiden backstage at Cobo Hall in Detroit in 1982 and they gave me a Stroh's beer. It was really good, but I wish they'd had this back then!

One of the coolest beer names ever! A semi-literate customer got mad and posted an online review that claimed "Your manager is bitch." The people in charge at Beale's Brewery in Bedford, VA decided to commemorate this phrase as the name of a beer. Cool idea! She wasn't there the day I visited the brewery, but I got the impression from others that she isn't bitch.

Named for Thomas Jefferson's crib in Charlottesville, VA, this can is from the 1950s. The home (now a museum) was designed by Jefferson and is located on top of a mountain and has a great view of the surrounding area! And if you like the architecture of the place, check out the campus of nearby University of Virginia since it was founded by Jefferson and has other buildings designed by him.

I don't really know much about this other than it's a "Variant Edition Statue" and numbered to 500. And it looks cool! These are typically worth hundreds of $$$, but if you find a broken one - a shortened horn and a poorly glued together base in this case - you may be able to get a bargain, and it still looks great on a shelf!
