Champagne Pilsener Brand Beer Cone Top Can

Lomira's Champagne Pilsener Cone

The Champagne Pilsener Brand Beer cone top is a notable regional Wisconsin piece from the Harold C. Johnson Brewing Company, which operated out of the small community of Lomira. Harold C. Johnson took over the historic Pleasant Hill Avenue facility following the tenure of the Star Brewing Company.

Manufactured by the Continental Can Company, this high-profile container features rich metallic gold and red graphics highlighted by period slogans such as "Zestful," "Refreshing," and "Sparkling".

Small-town Midwestern breweries of this era maintain a dedicated following in the breweriana community. Because Harold C. Johnson operated for less than a decade before shuttering in the mid-1950s, cans carrying the Lomira imprint represent a short-lived chapter in Wisconsin canning history. Collectors also recognize minor variations in text layout and manufacturer markings across different production runs. Today, the can stands as a classic representation of postwar Wisconsin brewing heritage.
