The Fliegerbier (Pilot’s beer / Bière des aviateurs) was an imperial pilsner / strong pale lager that is no longer brewed today. By and large, an Imperial pilsner / Strong pale lager is a stronger version (7 % alcohol by volume in this case) of the standard pilsner / lager. The bottle was, however, quite appealing, at least to aviation enthusiasts. From the looks of it, the Fliegerbier was available in two different types of aluminium bottles. It is possible that the style of bottle matches the topics, in that all bottles similar to the ones offered to the collection portray pioneers of aviation or famous aircraft designers, or both. The following labels are known to exist for the type and style of bottle offered to the corporation: Hugo Junkers, Claude Dornier, Hugo Junkers, Charles Lindbergh and Ferdinand von Zeppelin. Certain bottles of the type and style of bottle offered to the corporation commemorate events rather than individuals. Indeed, they do not include the cameo found in the bottles mentioned above: the first flight of a powered airplane - 1903, the first nonstop transatlantic flight -1919, the first nonstop transatlantic flight against the wind -1928. Oddly enough, the trilingual text (English, French and German) on the Blériot XI bottle provides three different dates for the famous flight made by Louis Blériot in July 1909 between France and the United Kingdom. These dates are 26, 29 and 25 July 1909. La Fliegerbier (Pilot’s beer / Bière des aviateurs) était une bière pilsner impériale / bière blanche forte qui n'est pas brassé aujourd'hui. Généralement, les bières pilsners impériales / blanches fortes sont des bières plus fortes (7% alcool) comparé à la pilsner standard. La bouteille est attrayante aux enthousiastes en aviation. La Fliegerbier était disponible en deux différentes bouteilles. Chaque bouteille similaire à celle-ci à une représentation d'un pionnier en aviation ou concepteur d'avions. Les prochains types ont aussi été produits: Hugo Junkers, Claude Dornier, Charles Lindbergh et Ferdinand von Zeppelin. De plus, certaines bouteilles commémoraient certains évènements en aviations. Par exemple: le premier envolé d'un avion à moteur - 1903, le premier vol transatlantique sans arrêt - 1919 et le premier vol transatlantique sans arrêt contre le vent - 1928. Curieusement, le texte trilingue (anglais, français et allemand) de la bouteille de Blériot XI donne trois dates différentes pour le célèbre vol par Louis Blériot en 1909 entre la France et le Royaume-Uni. Les dates sont le 26, 29 et 25 juillet 1909. - Function

- Silver aluminum bottle with a blue and green label decal wrapped around the entire bottle. The bottle is sealed and closed with a white flip-top cap stopper. The white cap stopper is held up by grey steel wires, used to open and close the cap. The text color on the label varries from black, red and blue. On the back of the bottleneck, there is a small white label / sticker with no writing on it. Bouteille en aluminium avec étiquette verte et bleue qui couvre l'extérieure de la bouteille entière. La bouteille est scellée et fermé avec un bouchon d'arrêt mécanique. Le bouchon mécanique blanc est soutenu avec l'aide des files d'acier, utilisé pour ouvrir et fermer le bouchon. Le text écrit sur l'étiquette varie entre noir, rouge et bleu. Sur le derrière du goulot, on y retrouve un petit étiquette blanc avec aucune écriture.

L'étiquette a une illustration du pionnier en aviation Louis Blériot. Sous la photographe de Blériot, on y retrouve une représentation de l'avion Blériot XI.
