An all-metal beverage can with a pour spout is disclosed. The can includes
a can body for containing a beverage and a closure member. The closure
contains a metal pour spout and a cap covering the pour spout. The pour
spout and cap are in a recessed condition within the can body prior to
opening the can, allowing the can to be shipped and stacked in the normal
fashion. The closure further comprises a first layer forming the pour
spout, a second layer forming the cap, and a scored area formed in the
second layer. The cap separates from the closure by the user grasping the
cap and breaking of the scored area (e.g., by twisting) and then removing
the cap from the pour spout. When the container is opened, the pour spout
is extendable from the can body to facilitate pouring of the beverage. In
one possible embodiment, the pour spout is threaded. The cap threads onto
the pour spout, enabling a resealing of the can.
