Falls Velvet Premium Pilsener Beer Cone Top Can

The Falls Velvet Cone Top Can

Produced by the Falls Brewing Company in Fergus Falls, Minnesota, the Falls Velvet Premium Pilsener Beer cone top is a prized piece of Upper Midwest breweriana. The brewery operated during the mid-20th century in rural western Minnesota, maintaining a relatively small distribution footprint compared to larger regional packaging breweries in Duluth and the Twin Cities.

The can features a distinctive aesthetic dominated by deep background colors, ornate scroll accents, and bold branding centered around the "Falls' Velvet" script. Known variations exist among surviving examples, displaying subtle differences in state tax statements and mandatory legal text, including versions bearing Internal Revenue Tax Paid (IRTP) markings from earlier production runs.

Because the Fergus Falls canning operation was relatively brief and had limited regional reach, examples of this can remain elusive and highly sought after by collectors specializing in Minnesota brewing history and independent post-Prohibition labels.
