Clear Lake Premium Beer Flat Top Can

Clear Lake Beer from Grace Bros.

Clear Lake Premium Beer is a regional label produced by Grace Bros. Brewing Co. of Santa Rosa, California. Grace Bros. was an established presence in Sonoma County's brewing history, widely recognized for producing proprietary lines as well as private-label brands for commercial distributors and grocery chains across Northern and Central California.

Named after Northern California's prominent freshwater lake in Lake County, Clear Lake Premium Beer was packaged for grocery distribution, frequently bearing markings noting that it was packed exclusively for the Market Wholesale Grocery Co. The can was manufactured by the American Can Company and bore the trademark "Keglined" branding, which identified the protective internal lining designed for canned beer.

For collectors of Western breweriana, this can represents mid-century contract canning practices where regional breweries supplied custom supermarket labels to compete with major national operations. Known variations exist across different manufacturing runs, featuring slight shifts in mandatory text, distributor notes, and canning lid configurations.
