Goetz Country Club Pilsener Beer Cone Top Can

Goetz Country Club Pilsener Can

The Goetz Country Club Pilsener Beer cone top can represents one of the signature packages released by the M. K. Goetz Brewing Company of St. Joseph, Missouri. Founded in 1859 by Michael Karl Goetz, the brewery maintained strong regional distribution across the Midwest and sustained the Country Club brand name through the Prohibition era.

Manufactured with Continental Can Company's "Cap-Sealed" construction, the container features prominent "Country Club Pilsener" typography paired with the M. K. Goetz Brewing Co. identification and St. Joseph, Missouri mandatory text. The design is finished with the traditional Cap-Sealed instructional and trademark side panels.

For collectors of Midwestern breweriana, several variations of this can exist across its manufacturing lifetime. Documented differences include variations with and without Internal Revenue Tax Paid (IRTP) phrasing, differing alcohol statement placements, subtle typographic shifts, metallic versus non-metallic paint finishes, and variations in the contour profile of the cone neck.
