Olde English 800 Malt Liquor 16 Oz Tab Top Can

Olde English 800 Pabst, GA Pint

The Olde English 800 Malt Liquor 16-ounce tab top can credited to the Blitz-Weinhard Brewing Company out of Pabst, Georgia, represents a notable chapter in American brewing history. Tracing its heritage from Ruff's Olde English Stout to Olde English 600 and eventually becoming Blitz-Weinhard's flagship malt liquor, the brand grew into an iconic fixture of American popular culture and breweriana. Following the acquisition of Blitz-Weinhard by the Pabst Brewing Company, production expanded across Pabst's national network, leading to this release bearing the brewery location in Pabst, Georgia.

The can's graphic presentation carries the label's signature medieval-inspired visual identity. It features the recognizable uncial-style typography set over a vibrant red circular field framed by stylized crowns and fortress battlements, all placed over a bright metallic gold background. The expanded 16-ounce canvas highlights the bold contrast of the gold and red lithography, distinguishing it prominently on collector shelves.

Among breweriana collectors, this Georgia-marked container is particularly notable for its place in regional distribution history. Known variations exist featuring different combinations of mandatory brewery city listings along the seam—often grouping Pabst, Georgia alongside Portland and Newark—along with differences in metallic tone and lithographic placement. This makes the Blitz-Weinhard Pabst, Georgia issue an essential piece for collectors specializing in malt liquor history, regional plant labels, and pint-sized cans.
