Grain Belt Premium Friendly Beer Cone Top Can
Minneapolis • Minneapolis, MN IRTP era, 1935 to 1950
Grain Belt Premium Friendly Beer
Produced by the Minneapolis Brewing Company in Minneapolis, Minnesota, the Grain Belt Premium Friendly Beer cone top can represents a classic piece of Upper Midwest brewing heritage. The brewery, established in Northeast Minneapolis, served as an industrial cornerstone of the Twin Cities and distributed Grain Belt widely across the region.
The can features the brand's long-running "The Friendly Beer" slogan, which served as a central fixture of Grain Belt advertising and tavern promotions. Visually, the design showcases a striking red, white, and metallic gold color palette structured around the classic bottle cap emblem and diamond graphic framing.
For breweriana collectors, this label offers notable diversity. Multiple variations exist across production runs, featuring differences such as the presence or absence of Internal Revenue Tax Paid (IRTP) text, varying alcohol content statements, profile distinctions, and minor adjustments to the mandatory brewery legal text. These subtle differences make tracking down the label variations an enduring focus for regional can collectors.
