Holihan's Pilsener Beer 12 Oz Zip/Tab Top Can

Holihan's Pilsener Zip Top Can

The Holihan's Pilsener Beer can was produced by the Diamond Spring Brewery in Lawrence, Massachusetts. Tracing its roots back to the mid-19th century with the Holihan family, the company became an enduring fixture of Massachusetts brewing history. The brewery operated from its landmark facility on Diamond Street following Repeal, distributing its flagship Holihan's labels across New England.

For breweriana collectors, this straight-steel container represents Diamond Spring's adoption of self-opening container technology. The design features bold, classic Holihan's typography with mandatory brewery markings identifying Lawrence, Massachusetts. Finish variations are known to exist among surviving specimens, with examples produced featuring metallic backgrounds as well as standard enamel finishes.

Because Lawrence supported only a small number of breweries throughout its industrial history, regional breweriana tied to the Diamond Spring plant remains popular among New England collectors. This container provides a tangible link to the late-era packaging of an independent Merrimack Valley brewing tradition.
