Two original captions: "Busch beer packaging evolution, from the original design, flat top steel can of 1955, upper left, to the Tab Top aluminum can, lower right, which was introduced in 1978 and immediately preceded the most recent redesign." "Beer can collectors delight - With the introduction of a new label and graphic design ("The look of the 80s") for Busch beer, hundreds of can collectors are making room on their shelves. The taste of Busch beer did not change, but it is no longer called Busch Bavarian. Displaying the new Busch can is Anheuser-Busch brewery tour hostess Diane DeMercurio, left in top photo, while Jaime Craine holds one of the first Busch Bavarian cans produced in 1955. Photo below shows the can display case at the brewery."
