Old Dutch Brand Good Beer Flat Top Can

Old Dutch Beer Can: Krantz Brewery

This flat-top can showcases the iconic Old Dutch Beer brand, produced by the Krantz Brewing Corporation in Findlay, Ohio. The label's design, featuring a charming elderly couple, is a recognizable element of Old Dutch's branding, adapted from a painting, "A Friend in Need," reportedly remembered from the Louvre by a local artist, Dr. A. H. Linaweaver. This enduring imagery contributed significantly to the brand's popularity. The "Good Beer" tagline highlights the brewery's confidence in their product. Krantz Brewing, with roots dating back to 1891 (originally the Brilliant City Brewery), had a long history in Findlay before its eventual closure in 1966. The Old Dutch brand continued under different owners after the Krantz era ended.

The Krantz brewery itself went through several name changes and ownership transitions throughout its history. Its products included a range of beers, such as Old Dutch, a brand that enjoyed significant regional success for many years.
