Berghoff 1887 Beer Flat Top Can

Berghoff 1887 Flat Top from Walter

The Berghoff brand originated in Fort Wayne, Indiana, where the founding family began commercial brewing in 1887. Following the decline and eventual closure of the original Indiana facility, production rights for the historic label were acquired by other regional brewers, including The Walter Brewing Company of Pueblo, Colorado.

This 12-ounce flat top can represents Walter Brewing Company's production run of the heritage label. The face design features the classic diagonal script "Berghoff" logotype superimposed over three faint stars and large outlined "1887" numerals. At the center of the numerals sits a yellow heraldic shield containing a solid red hexagon. This geometric crest insignia serves as a key identifying element distinguishing this label from other variations produced under the brand name, which featured alternate center motifs such as eagles or letters.

The lower portion of the white field carries the designation "Pale EXTRA Dry BEER" in contrasting red and black lettering. The bottom metallic gold band includes mandatory brewery text crediting production and canning to The Walter Brewing Co. in Pueblo, Colorado.
