It’s another memory from Sebewaing’s past, and it could be yours, if you’d like it.”

Here are the comments from the post:

Scott M. Thede Coincidentally, I wrote an article on the brewery website about the beer can debut a week before Mark’s post about the Ebay opportunity. To help confirm Mark’s statement, as far as I know, the zip top came out in the last few years of the brewery’s operation. I’d say 1964-1965. I doubt very much that between 1965-1966, they would try something new like this when they were trying to keep their heads up the financial waters. Anything that came out in the way of a zip top can from 1965-1966 was likely using existing inventory. Here is the article on the national can debut and specifically, the Sebewaing Brewing can information with nice pictures. https://sebewaingbrewingcompany.com/the-can-debut/

Mark W Rummel Great story, Scott. I am so glad you are working to keep the Sebewaing Brewery story alive. Scott’s Grandfather Otto Thede ran the brewery for years and lived right next to it.

Thank you to Mark W Rummel for this post.
