Fun Holidays - Canned Beer Birthday

Beer is the most popular alcoholic drink in the world, and people have been actively involved in brewing since ancient times In the overall ranking of all liquids that people consume, beer was in third place, surpassing even wine The palm was taken by water, without which a person cannot live In second place was tea, a drink that almost everyone drinks daily The most interesting thing is that beer in moderation is healthy, just like wine It contains silicon, which helps strengthen bones Hops contain an order of magnitude more antioxidants than wine or tea Today there are more than four hundred different types of beer Among such variety, even the most demanding gourmet will find a drink to his taste In different countries, beer festivals are held annually, or even more often German and Czech are considered the most famous In 1935, beer began to be bottled in cans Customers liked such practical packaging, which is why today canned beer is sold on par with bottled intoxicating drinks Beer in cans has its own birthday: January 24th Making beer is a rather complex, multi-step process that has its own secrets Today there are hundreds of different technologies They take into account not only the fermentation time, but also the materials used to make the container Many private breweries, in which the brewing business is inherited, keep their tricks like the apple of their eye Beer is a universal drink in every sense It is liked by both men and women A steamy glass of foamy drink helps cool you down on a hot summer day A couple of bottles of beer helps create a pleasant atmosphere in a warm, friendly company on winter evenings Banks replaced heavy and fragile glass The new beer container was made from three sheets of iron The cans had a seam and they weighed much more than modern ones - almost a kilogram versus 15-20 grams today The first beer cans did not have a special ring for opening They had to be opened like canned food with a special knife, but the container coped with the task perfectly Beer could be stored in it for quite a long time without losing its taste, and transporting the drink became much more convenient A little later, modernized openers appeared on the market, which simply punched a hole in the lid Drinking canned beer has become much more convenient In 1958, the first aluminum can was made It was very light and practical To make such a container, two sheets of metal were already required The new cans had no seams, making their appearance more attractive Five years later, special rings appeared on the lids of beer cans, and the need to use bottle openers disappeared They had only one serious drawback - the rings came off completely Beer lovers often littered, throwing away parts of the can that were no longer needed In 1975, the American mechanic, inventor and innovator Ermal Kleon Fraze came up with a new design for a beer can, which was called SOT or stay-on tab It is still in use today The rings in such jars do not come off completely, but are only bent to the side, pressing a piece of the lid inside The result is a neat opening through which you can drink beer Interestingly, inventors have repeatedly tried to displace the classic beer can Not long ago, the American company Crown received a patent for a new container model When opened, the lid is almost completely removed The resulting hole gives the jar a resemblance to a beer glass Some manufacturers produced beer in such original packaging, but it was not successful among buyers In the USSR, canned beer appeared quite late “Golden Ring” became the first Soviet brand to be released in such containers in the 80s As for the holiday itself, the best way to celebrate it is to drink a can or two of beer in good company, but without fanaticism, since excessive alcohol consumption is not good for health
