Fehr's X/L: A Louisville Legacy

This cone-top can showcases Fehr's X/L beer, a prominent brand from the Frank Fehr Brewing Company in Louisville, Kentucky. The brewery, established in 1872, had a long and storied history, becoming Louisville's largest brewer by 1901. Known for its Extra Lager, Fehr's won gold medals at the Louisville Southern Exposition between 1883 and 1887. The brewery's association with horse racing, particularly its sponsorship of races at Churchill Downs, is reflected in some of its earlier can designs. Post-Prohibition, Fehr's embraced the use of cans, starting with j-spouts and later transitioning to crowntainers. Fehr's X/L beer remained a popular brand in Kentucky and Indiana, peaking in sales in 1949, before the brewery ultimately closed in 1964. This can represents a piece of Louisville's rich brewing heritage. Note that variations of this can exist, possibly featuring different graphics or designs.
