Delavan Wis. Beer 12 Oz Tab Top Can

Delavan Wis. Beer Can Overview

Delavan Wis. Beer is a collectible regional commemorative beer can produced by the Stevens Point Brewery (historically operating as the Stevens Point Beverage Company) in Stevens Point, Wisconsin.

Background and Commemorative History

The can was produced in honor of the city of Delavan, Wisconsin, celebrating the community's 150th sesquicentennial anniversary. Located in Walworth County, Delavan has a rich civic history deeply tied to 19th-century circus winter quarters and lake recreation. To commemorate the milestone, the local committee partnered with Stevens Point Brewery to package a custom municipal brew under the Delavan name.

Stevens Point Brewery developed a strong reputation throughout the Midwest for creating special-event and civic commemorative cans for various Wisconsin towns, festivals, and historical celebrations. These localized releases allowed regional communities to celebrate significant milestones with a dedicated, custom-labeled beverage filled by one of the state's oldest continuously operating breweries.

Collector Notes and Variations

Among breweriana enthusiasts and Wisconsin regional can collectors, the Delavan Wis. can represents an appealing piece of mid-state brewing history. Known variations exist that display minor differences in mandatory warning text, canning plant markings, and subtle shifts in graphic layout across canning runs.
