Gipps Amberlin Beer Flat Top Can

Gipps Amberlin: Chicago Flat Top Can

This flat-top can showcases Gipps Amberlin Beer, a brand that saw its manufacturing move from Peoria, Illinois, to Chicago, Illinois in 1954. The relocation followed the sale of the Gipps Beer name and formula to Canadian Ace Brewing of Chicago. The can's design reflects this post-relocation period, marking a significant point in the beer's history. While the Peoria plant continued distribution after the move, the Chicago can is a testament to the brand's adaptation and continued presence in the Illinois market. The vibrant full-color foil label design on the can's counterpart bottles is reflected in similar detail and craftsmanship on the flat-top can. This is especially notable as 1953 saw the introduction of a new formula for Amberlin beer, and an updated package design for both its bottles and its flat top cans.
