110-Year-Old Man Credits Long Life To His Daily Can Of Beer
Sage wisdom from Cape Fear Wine & Beer, or just a heartwarming feel-good story? We’ll let you decide.
Respect your elders.
 
(Photo caption: The world’s first canned beer is sold on January 24, 1935. You can thank Krueger’s Beer in Richmond, Virginia for making it happen with a first run of 2000 cans. This photo from the FDR Library shows soldiers receiving World War II beer rations: Sgt. Henry Klein sells T/4 Ralph Lohman his ration of American beer. Seven cans were rationed in Sept. but future deliveries were uncertain.)
