North Dakota's Centennial Beer 12 Oz Tab Top Can

Schell's Centennial Can

Produced by the historic August Schell Brewing Company of New Ulm, Minnesota, this can was commissioned to celebrate regional centennial heritage in North Dakota. Founded in 1860, Schell's established a long tradition throughout the Upper Midwest of partnering with civic groups, regional committees, and local organizations to release commemorative cans honoring state, county, and municipal milestones.

As the second-oldest family-owned brewery in the United States, August Schell developed a reputation among breweriana enthusiasts for its extensive catalog of specialty releases. The can features celebratory commemorative artwork highlighting North Dakota's regional pride and historic landmark achievements.

Commemorative issues from Schell's are notable for documenting local history across the upper plains. Among collectors of Midwestern breweriana, different graphic and printing variations are known to exist across Schell's commemorative releases, reflecting different regional distribution runs and organizational partnerships. This can remains an appreciated piece of August Schell brewery history and Midwestern regional memorabilia.
