Altes Golden Lager Beer 16 Oz Tab Top Can

Altes Golden Lager 16 Oz Tab Top

Originally established in Michigan as a flagship brand of the Tivoli Brewing Company, Altes transitioned into the portfolio of The National Brewing Company of Baltimore, Maryland, following a corporate acquisition. Under National's management, the brand maintained its regional following while being packaged and distributed through National's expanded production network.

This 16-ounce pint-sized tab top can features the traditional Altes heraldic crest and bold lettering set against a clean background, framed by metallic gold trim and prominent volume designations. The side panels carry the National Brewing Company name with Baltimore, Maryland, listed as the primary brewing location.

For collectors of large-format cans, this release represents an interesting crossover between historic Detroit brewing heritage and Baltimore brewing management. Known variations exist across production runs, featuring differences in mandatory text arrangement, plant address designations, and regulatory top-lid stampings—including variants with etched rather than stamped tax or alcohol statements.
