Acme Beer Can from Blitz-Weinhard

This 16-ounce aluminum can is a vintage example of a pull-tab top beer can produced by Blitz-Weinhard Brewery in Portland, Oregon. Blitz-Weinhard, a prominent brewery with a rich history dating back to 1856, was known for its various beer brands, including the iconic Henry Weinhard's. This can represents a piece of Pacific Northwest brewing history, showcasing a design from a period when pull-tab cans were commonplace. The 'Acme' branding on this particular can offers a glimpse into the diverse product offerings of the brewery, possibly a short-lived brand or a specific regional variation. Collectors of vintage beer cans will find this item to be a noteworthy addition to their collection, reflecting the long and storied legacy of Blitz-Weinhard in Portland.

The Blitz-Weinhard Brewery operated for over 140 years, playing a significant role in the history of brewing in the Pacific Northwest. Its merger of two prominent breweries in 1928, its resilience during Prohibition, and its eventual sale and closure in 1999 mark important milestones in its history. This can serves as a tangible link to that rich past.
