Brickskeller Beer 12 Oz Tab Top Can

Historic Brickskeller House Can

Produced by Pittsburgh Brewing Company in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, the Brickskeller Beer 12 oz tab top can was brewed and packaged for Washington, D.C.'s legendary Brickskeller Dining House and Down Home Saloon.

Founded in 1957 near Dupont Circle, The Brickskeller became world-famous for its massive beer selection, eventually earning a Guinness World Record for offering the largest commercially available beer menu. During the peak of American breweriana collecting, the establishment served as a pilgrimage site where enthusiasts gathered to discover domestic and international beers, as well as tavern-exclusive cans.

Pittsburgh Brewing Company contract-brewed this house label to capture the venue's traditional saloon aesthetic. Across the brand's production runs, Pittsburgh Brewing released different thematic graphic variations, including classic saloon-inspired imagery such as "Taking a Smile" as well as wildlife-themed motifs.

Today, the Brickskeller Beer can stands as an enduring artifact of American tavern history and a classic example of Pittsburgh Brewing Company's specialty house-label canning.
