Synopsis

Party cans were designed for beer to be shared between two or more people at home gatherings. These cans were predominantly sold in the United Kingdom and West Germany during the 1960s and 1970s. In the UK, most party cans contained four, five, or seven pints of ale or lager and were often referred to by the number of pints. In Germany and other parts of Europe, party cans typically contained four liters of beer and were simply referred to as “gallon” cans. This guide is intended to illustrate the various European brands of party cans by size and country. Party Cans is the second beer related book written by Scott R. Mertie. His first book, "Nashville Brewing", is a pictorial history of William Gerst and the Nashville brewing industry.
