Flat tops - Albert Heijn

• Dutch supermarket Albert Heijn has been selling 6 1/2 pils in a flat top beer can in the early sixties. The first references i have found to date the can were some 1963 newspaper advertisements. The earliest says that beer in a can is new (on the Dutch market). This might be true for 6 1/2 Pils, but Amstel was allready selling beer in cans on the Dutch market in 1957.
