You're right, but it's still nothing impressive. My point is that if
someone's going to get all fussy about an after-market use for a
container - say, a beer can - there's not a lot of point fussing about
what used to be in it. The vast majority of breweries churning out
canned beer are not usually little mom-and-pop businesses making
unique specialty brews. The exceptions, like Oskar Blues in Colorado,
are still pretty small in number. Reminds me to stop in somewhere for
cans of Old Chub and Dale's Pale Ale, though.
