Hi Greg

I wonder if you remember in the late spring or early summer of '68, when they ran out of beer at the booze store and all they had were sandbags full of beat up Ballentine cans that had been in hold of some transport ship for about 6 months.

Due to the fact that beer cans back then were made of steel, about half of them were rusted through and were about half full and the others that still had some fizz left in them tasted like snake piss. We ended up mixing it with warm tomato juice. I don't think anybody died from it, but to this day I can't even look at a can of Ballentine without feeling a twinge of revulsion.
