Tucan Sam? No – Two Can Timmy!

On January 24, 1935, just over a year after the end of prohibition, the first canned beers were served and sold. This day is now celebrated as National Beer Can Day. (Hey, if there’s a National Bacon Day there should be a National Beer Can Day.)

Timothy O’Toole’s, 622 N Fairbanks, is celebrating with $2 beers. Stop in any time on January 24 and celebrate the 78th birthday of canned beer with these fine examples:

• Miller High Life
• Hamm’s
• Miller Lite
• Coors Light
• Brooklyn Lager
• Ska Modus Hoperandi
• Red Hook Longhammer IPA
• New Belgium Shift Lager

While you’re there, fuel up on their Irish nachos or their Goat Cheese Quesadillas.
