Clyde Cream Ale Cone Top Can

Clyde Cream Ale Cone Top Overview

The Clyde Cream Ale can was produced for the Enterprise Brewing Company of Fall River, Massachusetts. Manufactured by the Continental Can Company, it features the manufacturer's signature Cap Sealed design.

The front and side panels prominently display the Clyde Cream Ale branding alongside the slogan "A Master Brew" and the Fall River brewery designation. Standard tax and regulatory text of the era is integrated into the labeling, including the federal "Internal Revenue Tax Paid" (IRTP) statement and state-specific licensing text reading "Mass Permit No. 14".

Within breweriana collecting circles, variations of the container exist. Known examples show differences in cone profile heights, background color schemes, and minor variations in Continental Can Company patent and text markings along the bottom seam. The label represents a notable chapter in eastern Massachusetts industrial brewing history.
