Fox Head 400 Beer Flat Top Can

Fox Head 400 Sheboygan Flat Top

The Fox Head 400 Beer flat top can represents a notable transitional period in Wisconsin brewing history. The Fox Head brand originated with the Fox Head Brewing Company in Waukesha, Wisconsin, where Fox Head 400 emerged as the brewery's flagship label during the 1930s. Over the decades, it became one of the most prominent regional names across the Midwest.

During the industry consolidations of the early 1960s, G. Heileman Brewing Company acquired the Fox Head and Kingsbury lines, moving canning operations to brewing facilities in Sheboygan and La Crosse. This flat top can specifically features the mandatory brewery statement attributing packaging to the Fox Head Division of Heileman in Sheboygan, Wisconsin.

For breweriana collectors, this container captures an important chapter of corporate reorganization in Upper Midwest brewing. The label showcases the classic Fox Head branding adapted for Heileman's Sheboygan distribution. Variations of the Fox Head 400 can are known across production batches, with subtle shifts in mandatory text alignment, typography weight, and canning marks.
