Eagle Grove Iowa Centennial Beer 12 Oz Tab Top Can

Eagle Grove Centennial Beer Can

The Eagle Grove Iowa Centennial Beer can was produced by the August Schell Brewing Company of New Ulm, Minnesota, to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the founding of Eagle Grove, Iowa (1881–1981).

During this era, August Schell frequently partnered with Midwestern communities, civic organizations, and local festivals to create commemorative canned releases. These limited civic issues served as both regional celebration pieces and keepsakes for community members. The Eagle Grove can features commemorative graphics highlighting the town's historic milestone, marking the centennial dates prominently on the face of the can.

Schell's long-standing presence in the Upper Midwest made the historic family-owned brewery a frequent choice for Midwestern municipalities seeking custom cans. For breweriana enthusiasts, this can represents a crossover between Iowa local history and August Schell brewing memorabilia. Variations exist among surviving examples from the production period, making it a recognized piece among regional commemorative collectors.
