Remarks: "Best's Hapsburg Brand Quality Lager Beer. Circa: Post March 1950 - Mid 1950s. This American Can Company, 12 ounce container, lists 3 Patents and was Brewed and Canned by Best Brewing Company of Chicago; Chicago, Illinois. This is the same package design as seen on the previous page (USBC-OI 109) with, however; the removal of the "IRTP" statement from this post 01 March 1950 container. It's interesting to note that an opening instruction package design was used nearly twenty years after the introduction of canned beer. This Grade 1 example is one of only twenty or so quality examples known to the author. Rarity Rating: R-7/R-4." Reprinted with permission from Kevin C. Lilek.
