Novelty JR Beer

 
OK, show of hands how many of you remember and/or were a fan of the television show "Dallas" that ran from 1978 to 1991?!
 
One of the main characters was a J.R. Ewing (Larry Hagman).  However, I liked him better in "I Dream of Jeanie".
 
Another unusual collectible was J.R. Ewing Premium Beer. Distributed by Pearl Brewing Company in San Antonio, Texas, J.R. beer was sold from “J.R.’s private stock,” with the personal message, “If you have to ask how much my beer costs, you probably can’t afford it – J.R. Ewing” printed on each can.
 
This is the one and only can in my collection.
 
P.S. I never watched or cared for the show Dallas, nor am I a fan of the Dallas Cowboy's!
