Old Dutch Brand Beer Quart

Old Dutch Brand Beer Quart

Produced by Old Dutch Brewers, Inc. of Brooklyn, New York, this 32-ounce quart cone top represents a classic piece of mid-century New York brewing heritage. Operating from Brooklyn's Flatbush neighborhood during the post-Prohibition era, Old Dutch was an active regional producer that packaged both beer and ale across several container formats.

Large-format quart cans from this period are highly sought after by regional New York and odd-size breweriana collectors. The front label features prominent gothic lettering above the bold "BRAND BEER" typography, set over a circular graphic emblem depicting a traditional Dutch windmill. The lower margin carries mandatory brewery information noting that the container was brewed and filled by Old Dutch Brewers, Inc. in Brooklyn.

Manufactured by the Continental Can Company with a Cap-Sealed cone top design, this can bears the mandatory Internal Revenue Tax Paid (IRTP) statement required by federal law between 1935 and 1950. Across production runs, subtle lithographic variations exist in text weights, label placements, and phrasing details.
