Nick Thomas Pilsener Beer Crowntainer

Nick Thomas Pilsener Can

The Nick Thomas Pilsener Beer Crowntainer was produced by the Miami Valley Brewing Company of Dayton, Ohio. Manufactured by Crown Cork & Seal, the can represents an era when regional Ohio breweries competed actively across local markets with dedicated proprietary brands.

Brewery History and Brand Context

Miami Valley Brewing Company operated out of Dayton, producing a variety of regional labels following the repeal of Prohibition. The Nick Thomas label served as one of the brewery's notable offerings, highlighting traditional pale pilsener brewing tailored to the Midwest market.

Labeling and Collector Details

The design features a white background accented by prominent typography reading "Nick Thomas Pilsener Pale Beer". The container includes mandatory period markings, notably an Internal Revenue Tax Paid (IRTP) statement on the face panel. Different variations exist across production runs, reflecting varying statutory alcohol percentage statements (such as statements indicating alcoholic content between 3.2% and 7%) depending on state distribution requirements.

Due to the regional footprint of the Miami Valley Brewing Company, surviving examples of the Nick Thomas crowntainer are prized additions within specialized Ohio breweriana collections.
