Old German Brand Pennsylvania Dutch Beer Cone Top Can

Lebanon Valley Old German Can

The Old German Brand Pennsylvania Dutch Beer cone top container was packaged by the Lebanon Valley Brewing Company of Lebanon, Pennsylvania. Rooted in an area known for Pennsylvania Dutch traditions, the brewery highlighted regional identity directly on the label to connect with local consumers.

Regional Heritage and Branding

Lebanon Valley Brewing Company prominently featured both the "Old German Brand" moniker and the "Pennsylvania Dutch" label designation across its product line. The container's artwork features traditional mid-century lettering and graphics that celebrated the heritage of central Pennsylvania. As an independent regional establishment operating in Lebanon County, the company relied heavily on this strong local association to compete against broader national brands.

Collector Features and Variations

Within breweriana circles, this container is recognized for its connection to Pennsylvania's brewing history. Documented variations exist among surviving examples, including versions featuring the "Internal Revenue Tax Paid" (IRTP) mandatory wording and runs featuring slight shifts in color tones and typography. Following the closure of the original Lebanon Valley Brewing Company, surviving containers from this label run have become focal points for East Coast and Pennsylvania-specific beer can collections.
