The Pabst Can Crusher
WhizBang Pinball, 2016Quoted from jrpinball:Those are Hamm's cans, not PBR. Hamm's is pretty decent for a cheapie beer. Better than PBR. The worst beer ever is Utica Club! That stuff tastes like chemical soaked cardboard!
They're not all Hamm's cans. Lots of PBR in that photo, too (circled below), and since this is a thread about a Pabst licensed pinball machine, PhilGreg was correct to point out the PBR cans in the photo.
The shit beers of my youth were: Milwalkees Best and Schaefer.
I remember, for a while, everything was (Shit Beer name) ICE.
WTF was all that about?

Piels and Natty Light here.
$2 Pitchers on Tuesdays in college of Natty Light.
Piels tastes better warm I think.
Quoted from Whysnow:where are the nipples?
I hate to sounds crank and agree,...but what pinball of the era this would fit into didn't have nips showing through.
Quoted from ttown:Is it possible for you to be happy with no nips this time around? The rest of it looks good.
Yes 
. I have a strikes and spares playfeild in my coffee table. That has enough to go around.
Option 2: we have someone mod up some artwork for this game. There has to be an artist on here that can add some on the gal right below the score kind of half below the backglass. Easy mod.. even possible 3D.... oh no what have I done..
Built in Kegerator LE model being approved by Gary Stern this week. If you order what they call the LEKEG early it comes with a custom tap handle. Stern never sleeps... I think this is all confidential so keep this one secret.
Any new updates on the "Can Crusher"? I have not been paying close attention. I did see they are $6399 on the Pabst site..

They were supposedly freezing it to the point the water in the beer would crystallize and then straining it out so that the remaining beer was "stronger."
For a while in college (when I live in Portland, OR) Henry Weinhard's Ice Ale was my go to beer. Once I could afford local micros regularly instead of as a luxury that changed.
I just watched a heap of Red Fang on idiot tube and must admit it will be a good match to this pinball.
Lots of fun to be had by these blokes and lots of beer too!
Release the game already. I want to put the code into my WNBJM and rock out with my cxxk out !
I read somewhere the game will be at expo next week ....

Quoted from KillerQ:The Can Crusher looks like a 3/4 scale, machine made by Zizzle...
No, it looks like a WNBJM, made by Stern, and re-themed for a beer company.

It's based on 'Continental Cafe' (Gottlieb 1957), so it's the same size as all those late '50s Gottlieb games.
Quoted from Tigger64:It's based on 'Continental Cafe' (Gottlieb 1957), so it's the same size as all those late '50s Gottlieb games.
Ah, that explains it...thanks !

You're welcome.
Quoted from dmbjunky:I'm really jonesing for a Nellie pin. I'm going to play both at Expo if they have them.
It's a fun game, if you like old school, EM-style gameplay. I'm sure PCC will be fun, too.
Quoted from NicToria:Any guess' on when this might go on sale? And how much.? A lot of interesting titles coming along.. THX> NT.

My family owed a tavern some years ago you are correct with Schaefer.
I would like to ad Ortliebs, Ballantine and Pabst.
Quoted from kettchxxii:The pin is younger than the tallboys... playfield is number 36. Looks great.
congrats!
When can I come play? I'll bring the tallboys!
Quoted from Tuna_Delight:I was recently pleasantly surprised (but not shocked as they typically get every new Stern LE) to discover a Pabst Can Crusher at Shorty's in Seattle. Pumped a bunch of quarters into it this eve for the second time and enjoyed playing it.
It's become one of my favorites at Shorty's. It only $0.25 a play too!
