Cold Spring Lager Beer Cone Top Can

Cold Spring Lager Cone Top History

Produced by the Cold Spring Brewing Company of Cold Spring, Minnesota, this high-profile container was manufactured by the Continental Can Company for the brewery's flagship lager. Cold Spring built its regional reputation around the pure water sourced from local natural springs, a heritage reflected across its mid-century can graphics.

Collectors recognize several variations of this can, primarily distinguished by mandatory regulatory texts and regional distribution requirements. These variations include earlier production runs carrying the Internal Revenue Tax Paid (IRTP) statement as well as later non-IRTP releases. Furthermore, different versions exist displaying various state-mandated alcohol statements, including designations such as 3.2% by weight, 5% by volume, and strong beer markings.

Showcasing classic brand typography and traditional heraldry, this can remains an important centerpiece of Minnesota breweriana and upper Midwest brewing heritage.
