Base Brau Appleton Foxes Beer Can

Produced by the Stevens Point Brewery in Stevens Point, Wisconsin, Base Brau Beer holds a notable place in the intersection of breweriana collecting and sports memorabilia. The brew was created as a dedicated commemorative release for the Appleton Foxes, a minor league baseball team playing at Goodland Field.

When plans for the specialty brew were first reported in 1978, the announcement sparked an immediate sensation across the hobby. Before the beverage was packaged or the graphic layouts finalized, advance orders poured in from collectors across the nation. To satisfy this demand, the club distributed the cans at the ballpark during designated promotional evenings and fulfilled mail orders directly for collectors outside the Fox River Valley.

Due to the widespread enthusiasm surrounding these promotional games, the brewery released the cans featuring different color variations across the scheduled events. Today, Base Brau remains an iconic crossover piece celebrating minor league baseball history and regional brewery promotions.
