Although the American craft beer market may be stagnating, the world of beer collectibles just hit a historic milestone. A 1950s Chief Oshkosh beer can recently sold at auction for a staggering $111,150, according to a press release from Massachusetts-based Morean Auctions. This sale set a new record for the highest price paid for a piece of beer memorabilia.
Originally produced by Wisconsin’s now-defunct Oshkosh Brewing Company, Chief Oshkosh beer hasn’t been brewed since the early 1970s. According to Morean Auctions, the recently-sold can is the only example of its kind in existence and is in near-perfect condition.
