Beer museum - a rusty 3rd fridge built in 1962 that is the place where all skunky beer goes to die. My father-in-law is a native Pennsylvanian who lives in Western New York now, and loves the Steelers. He got a case of Iron City Beer to celebrate the Steelers AFC Championship in '94. Apparently he enjoys a beer that is as gritty to taste as the Steel City is to look at. Anyway, I married into his family not knowing that he would rather drink the foulest of beers than drink anything that tastes good. "Deer Hunters don't drink Michelob". "Steelers fans don't drink Heinekin". "Real men drink Iron City".
Well, there is still one can left in his beer museum. The can has emblazoned on it "AFC Champion Steelers 1994". I've offered to put that beer out of its misery on many an occasion wanting to show him that a man willing to drink that hairy beer is good enough for his daughter. But NO! This beer is in the museum as a memory of the last time the Steelers were worth anything. He says it will be worth something. I'd like to put it on public record that this beer wasn't worth the 5 cent returnable it was contained within the day he bought it.
So next time your scanning the beer aisle at the local supermarket beware of the beer cans that say "Buffalo Sabres - 1998 Stanley Cup runners-up" or "Baltimore Orioles - talkin' proud" on them. The beer contained by these cans isn't worth drinking. Why else would they need to put anything other than their brand name on the can? If the best a beer can do is be known for the sports team on it, then it probably does belong in my Father-in-law's beer museum.
