SCHMIDT'S SELECT
  The Jacob Schmidt Brewing Company in St Paul, Minnesota decided about 1949 to try canning a near beer flavor in a 12 ounce cone top can. This can is included as a soda can collectable even though it is a bridge between soda and beer. A statement on the label declares that the product contains "less than 1/2 of 1% alcohol".
