Champagne Velvet Beer 11 Oz Tab Top Can

Northwest Champagne Velvet Can

The Champagne Velvet Beer 11 Oz Tab Top Can represents a notable regional chapter for a historic American brand. Originally formulated in Indiana and famously marketed under the slogan "The Beer with the Million Dollar Flavor," Champagne Velvet saw its production expand to the Pacific Northwest through the Brewing Company of Oregon in Portland.

The 11-ounce capacity reflects the distinct packaging traditions of the Pacific Northwest brewing market. During this era, regional breweries frequently packaged their offerings in 11-ounce volumes rather than the standard 12-ounce size to adapt to local pricing structures and regional retail preferences. The Portland mandatory on the side panel distinguishes these West Coast releases from their Midwestern counterparts.

For breweriana collectors, this can holds special interest due to its cross-regional lineage, connecting an iconic Midwestern brand to Oregon brewing history through Blitz-Weinhard's operating entity. Several variations exist from this regional production, featuring subtle differences in canning marks and mandatory text arrangements.
