Red Top Extra Pale Beer Cone Top Can

Red Top Extra Pale Beer Cone Top

Produced by the Red Top Brewing Company in Cincinnati, Ohio, the Red Top Extra Pale Beer cone top stands as a prominent artifact from the Queen City's rich brewing heritage. Operating out of the historic brewery facility on Dayton Street and Central Avenue following the repeal of Prohibition, Red Top grew into one of Ohio's largest regional brewing operations.

The can showcases the brand's striking trade dress, highlighted by bold typography, clean color blocking, and the distinctive Red Top branding. Among collectors, known variations exist across production runs, categorized by the presence or absence of the Internal Revenue Tax Paid (IRTP) statement alongside minor differences in brewery mandatory text and background metallic finishes.

Because Cincinnati was among the most competitive industrial brewing centers in the country, items from Red Top—alongside regional contemporaries like Burger and Hudepohl—remain central focus points for collectors of Ohio breweriana. The Extra Pale Beer cone top remains a highly desirable piece representing the mid-century golden age of Midwestern brewery packaging.
