On January 24, 1935, the Gottfried Krueger Brewing Company of New Jersey sold the first can of beer in the world.

The one time I disagree with Treehugger - not all of them are bad.

The solution?

The best solution for keeping your eco-impact low is to drink local beer. Not only does this support your local economy, and support the art of craft beer making, but it is also a great way to enjoy creative and innovative new recipes and techniques.
Okay, we agree again. One added solution- brew your own. On Superbowl Sunday, my Holiday IPA from Brooklyn Brew Shop is ready to drink - can't wait.
