Country Club Stout Malt Liquor 16 Oz Tab Top Can

Pearl's 16 oz Country Club Stout

Country Club Malt Liquor holds a foundational place in American brewing history, originating with the M. K. Goetz Brewing Company of St. Joseph, Missouri. Following Pearl Brewing Company's acquisition of Goetz, production continued at the historic St. Joseph facility. Under Pearl's management, the lineup included specialty offerings such as Country Club Stout Malt Liquor in the 16-ounce format.

For breweriana collectors, 16-ounce cans from the St. Joseph plant represent an important chapter in Midwestern brewing history. The label design prominently pairs the stout malt liquor designation with the established Country Club brand heraldry and bold typography tailored to the taller half-quart profile.

Collectors track known variations of this 16-ounce release. Differences across production batches generally center on regulatory text—such as specific alcohol-by-weight percentage disclosures—as well as canning lid codes and variations in mandatory brewery distribution text. Due to lower production volume compared to standard 12-ounce containers, these half-quart cans are prominent display pieces in collections dedicated to malt liquors and Missouri breweries.
