World Countries Producing Beer Cans

Many countries in the world produce (or have produced) at least one beer can.
Hit the globe for a list, arranged by continents.

Follow this LINK (or scroll down the page) to see which criteria have been used for listing the countries.



All countries have been divided into 4 categories, indicated by colours:
  1. countries which produce their own beer cans (a large majority, shown in BLUE)
  2. countries which do no longer exist but produced their own beer cans (shown in GREEN)
  3. countries which once produced their own beer cans, but no longer do so (shown in RED)
  4. countries which use beer cans produced in another country (shown in BROWN)
In group 4 I have listed only countries where national brands are canned abroad, while other countries where only foreign or international brands (such as Heineken, Tuborg, Skol, etc.) are imported, have not been mentioned.

A further group of areas and regions, which are not independent but are sometimes dealt with separately by collectors, are listed in the last section.

This LINK will take you to the INDEX.
