THE MIDWEST / THE SOUTH.
If you have ever spent time perusing a serious collector's shelves of cans, you would quickly notice the common recurrence of deer within on-can graphics; but even more common—deer heads! There are voluminous examples of the great American mammal paired up with great American beers across the 1970s and 80s. Here are a hand-picked few including a rare deer-themed Hudepohl, the deer head trend-setting Schell's and Buckhorn, a totally separate Buckhorn from Lone Star in Texas, as well a Schmidt from one of the great beer can collecting series of all time: The Great Northwest Outdoor Series.
