Budweiser Lager Beer Flat Top Can

Budweiser Flat Top Can: A Collector's Item

This page details a vintage Budweiser Lager Beer can, distinguished by its flat top design. Produced by Anheuser-Busch in St. Louis, Missouri, this can represents a piece of brewing history. Early versions of this can featured design variations. For example, some cans included the 'Keglined' trademark, while others did not. The placement of patent information and other text also varied across different production runs. These design differences make identifying and collecting specific variations interesting for enthusiasts. The can showcases the evolution of Budweiser's packaging and its adherence to changing regulations, such as those implemented by the 1938 Federal Alcohol Administration. Details like the added black vertical lines separating the side panels from the face panel, or the shifting of patent information, speak volumes about the history of beer can design.
