Peerless Beer Cone Top Can

Peerless Beer Cone Top Can

The Peerless Beer Cone Top Can was produced for La Crosse Breweries, Inc., based in La Crosse, Wisconsin. The Peerless brand originally established deep roots in the region under the John Gund Brewing Company, where it served as a flagship label. Following the repeal of Prohibition, the brand was produced by La Crosse Breweries and packaged into high-profile cone top containers manufactured by the Continental Can Company.

The label displays bold Peerless typography centered on the body, accompanied by brewery mandatory text. Collectors recognize variations in the can's text layout, particularly regarding mandatory tax notices such as Internal Revenue Tax Paid (IRTP) statements versus non-IRTP versions, as well as subtle differences in alcohol content notations.

This can stands as a notable artifact of Wisconsin's regional brewing heritage, reflecting the post-Prohibition era of packaged beer from the Mississippi River valley.
