Fischer's Old German Style Ale

Fischer's Old German Style Ale represents a distinctive chapter in Florida's brewing history. Marketed under the Fischer Brewing Company name in Auburndale, Florida, this steel container originated from the facility founded by L. N. Duncan, originally operated as Duncan Brewing Company and later known as The Florida Brewery. At a time when independent regional breweries were uncommon in the Southeast, the Auburndale operation produced a variety of regional labels, proprietary value brands, and contract beverages.

The label art incorporates classic heraldic themes and bold, traditional Germanic lettering set against the "Fischer's" banner. Distributed alongside Fischer's Old German Style Beer, the ale version served as a dedicated companion release with differentiated labeling and color schemes.

Among breweriana enthusiasts, variations are recognized across manufacturing runs, including subtle differences in the mandatory brewery text, mandatory state markings, and lid stamping. Cans circulated within the state often feature Florida tax stamps applied directly to the metal. Because ales from southern facilities during this manufacturing era were generally produced in smaller quantities than mass-market lagers, this can remains a sought-after representation of central Florida's mid-century and late-era canning heritage.
