Metz Premium Beer Flat Top Can

Metz Premium Solid Blue Flat Top

The Metz Premium Beer flat top can represents a significant piece of Great Plains brewing heritage, originating from the Metz Brewing Company in Omaha, Nebraska. Established in the mid-nineteenth century, Metz stood as one of Nebraska’s foundational commercial breweries, maintaining a prominent presence in Midwestern taverns and households for roughly a century.

This particular twelve-ounce flat top is characterized by its solid blue graphic motif, distinguishing it from related label formats used during the brand's production run. While the core Metz Premium design prominently showcased classic typography and regional labeling, variations exist across different manufacturing runs, exhibiting subtle distinctions in color saturation, graphic paneling, and mandatory text formatting.

Produced during the early 1960s, cans bearing the Omaha mandatory hail from the final era of Metz's original Nebraska operations before corporate changes and brand relocations shifted production elsewhere. For collectors focused on mid-century regional breweriana and Nebraska brewing history, this solid blue variation remains a notable artifact from the storied Omaha institution.
