Historical NotesOlde Frothingslosh Pale Stale Ale beer can. Olde Frothingslosh was a limited-production product of the Pittsburgh Brewing Company. The brand is distinguished not so much by its contents, but by the tongue-in-cheek humorous advertising that accompanied the issue. This particular can appears to have never been filled with liquid, possible made as a souvenir by a brewery worker.Label TextThroughout the twentieth century, various Pittsburgh breweries and bottlers have produced colorful and unique beverage containers.
