Rainier Beer Flat Top Can

Rainier Jubilee Brewery Flat Top

Produced between 1959 and 1961 by Sicks' Rainier Brewing in Seattle, Washington, this flat top can is part of the famed Rainier Jubilee 23 release. Featuring a striking metallic Matisse Blue finish, the can showcases the Brewery graphic theme paired with the "Naturally Light" slogan, capturing the mid-century aesthetic of the Pacific Northwest brewing powerhouse.

The Jubilee concept originated in the 1950s when Sicks' Rainier Brewing introduced decorative, multi-colored packaging sets to celebrate company milestones. Over time, the brewery rolled out an expansive array of artistic designs, ranging from holiday and party motifs to brewery process imagery and scenic views. These cans stood out on store shelves thanks to their lustrous metallic backdrops rendered across an array of colorways.

Rainier cans from this era hold a storied place in breweriana history, bolstered by the famous Seattle wind tunnel discovery, where a massive hoard of preserved vintage Rainier cans was uncovered inside a decommissioned aeronautical facility. Among the various Jubilee issues, this metallic Matisse Blue Brewery variation stands as a prime representation of Rainier's mid-century marketing legacy and Seattle's brewing heritage.
