That One Summer When Loveland, Colorado Fell in Love With a Can of Foster’s

With all the mayhem going on in the world, sometimes we need to just take our minds off it, with some nonsensical fun. Lovelanders came to together to rally around a can of beer along the road.

Maybe if the can wasn't along a major artery through town, it wouldn't have garnered so much attention; but, there it was grabbing the spotlight. Did you see the can?

Summer and beer tend to go hand-in-hand. The fact that this situation centered around Australian beer, adds to the goofiness of it.

Why Did People in Loveland, Colorado, Rally Around a Can of Foster's?

On July 12, 2023, an unopened can of Foster's appeared in the median at Eisenhower and Boyd Lake Avenue in Loveland. Fosters cans are big, so it did stand out.

Folks in Loveland took a shine to this random beer can, posting pictures on Facebook of the Foster's.

Eisenhower Boulevard and Boyd Lake Avenue is a fairly busy intersection; thousands of cars drove by the can while it was there.

Above is the location of the Fosters can. The bag/debris at the bottom of the signpost would become the can's blanket.

While the can was there, the can became the "talk of the town;" everyone wanted to know if the can was still there and how it was holding up.

Some even went out to the can and dropped off a couple more unopened cans of other beers, to keep the Foster's company.

Many hoped the can would be there forever. Imagine if things had gotten out of control and the city actually erected some sort of "trophy case" around the can.

That would have been great.

How Long Did This Foster's Love Affair in Loveland Last?

It looks like the Fosters can was there for ten days, from July 12, 2023, to July 22, 2023. It's not clear exactly when the can and its friends were cleared away, or by whom.

Maybe it was the Loveland Police, maybe it was someone who didn't like the spectacle of it all, or maybe it was just a thirsty person.
