Horluck's Vienna Style Beer Flat Top Can

Horluck's Vienna Style Beer Can

Produced by the Horluck Brewing Company of Seattle, Washington, this container represents an important piece of Pacific Northwest brewing history. Established following the repeal of Prohibition by the Horluck family at their Westlake Avenue facility, the brewery employed German-trained brewmasters who brought traditional European brewing heritage to the Seattle market.

Manufactured by the American Can Company, the can features the prominent "Keglined" trademark insignia. It is distinguished by an opening instruction panel on the reverse side, characteristic of early American Can Company packaging.

Collectors document multiple variations of this label across production runs. These variations include differences in mandatory statutory phrasing, such as Internal Revenue Tax Paid (IRTP) notations, alcohol content declarations, and export designations. The brewery also produced related label variations showcasing "Fire Brewed" branding prior to the plant's eventual acquisition and transition to Sicks' Century Brewery. Because Horluck operated independently for a limited duration in the 1930s, authentic cans bearing the Horluck name remain prominent centerpiece items for regional breweriana specialists.
