Today is Beer Can Appreciation Day!

 

During WWII, the U.S. Navy tried to have enough beer at all installations to give each sailor two cans a day. With rapid demobilization following V-J Day, the beer supply piled up to the point that there was enough to give each sailor 92 cans a day. The Navy instead sold the surplus brew to retailers for $1.80 a case. In 1946, 20,000 cases of unsold beer were sent from Bayonne, New Jersey to Tennessee and buried in Oak Ridge.
