What was the first beer to be sold in a can?
Schlitz
Kreuger
Budweiser
Pabst
The first beer ever sold in a can was Krueger Finest Beer, brewed by the Gottfried Krueger Brewing company in 1935. The canned beer was well-received by consumers, and its popularity grew quickly. In contrast to glass bottles, the cans boasted the advantages of being lightweight, cost-effective, and easy to stack and ship. Within just three months, more than 80% of distributors were handling Krueger’s canned beer. Competitors soon followed suit, and by year’s end, thirty-seven American breweries had joined the movement of canning beer.
The correct answer is Kreuger.
