Becker's Best Pale Premium Beer Flat Top Can

Becker's Best: Ogden, Utah Pale Premium Beer Can

This flat-top beer can showcases Becker Products Company's flagship beer, Becker's Best Pale Premium Beer. Produced in Ogden, Utah, this can is a noteworthy example of mid-20th-century American brewing history. The can's design features clear labeling, likely including opening instructions on the side panel. The top lid may display markings indicating the beer's alcohol content. The Becker Products Company, originally Becker Brewing and Malting Company, had a long history in Ogden, starting in 1890. The company adapted to Prohibition by producing near-beer, and, after its repeal, continued brewing Becker's Best until the mid-1960s. This can represents a significant piece of this brewery's legacy and the history of brewing in Ogden, Utah. The American Can Company likely manufactured this 12-ounce can, and its design is consistent with those of the late 1940s and early 1950s. Collectors value this can for its historical significance and its representation of the Becker Products Company's contribution to Utah's brewing history. Variations in the can's design are known to exist amongst collectors.
