Grace Bros. Extra Pale Beer Flat Top Can

Grace Bros. Extra Pale Flat Top

The Grace Bros. Extra Pale Beer flat top can represents a notable piece of Northern California brewing history, originating from the Grace Bros. Brewing Company in Santa Rosa, California. Following the repeal of Prohibition, the Grace brothers expanded their Santa Rosa operations to supply markets extending across California and throughout the Pacific. During its peak operations, the facility was among the most prominent regional brewing enterprises in Sonoma County.

Grace Bros. was well-known among collectors for producing an expansive array of regional and private-label beers alongside their primary house offerings. The Extra Pale Beer can features classic mid-century graphic design with bold typography that prominently displays the brewery name and the Santa Rosa, California mandatory text.

Known variations of this can exist, with differences typically found in canning manufacturer markings, minor text placements, and changes in mandatory legal statements across different manufacturing runs. Because of the brewery's historical significance in Sonoma County, cans carrying the Santa Rosa Grace Bros. name continue to be staples for collectors specializing in West Coast breweriana.
