Schlitz Lager Beer Cone Top Can

Schlitz Lager: Early Cone Top Can

This vintage Schlitz Lager Beer can represents an early example of the cone-top style. Produced by the Jos. Schlitz Brewing Company of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, this can is a sought-after item for beer can collectors. Its design features the iconic FBIR (Flat Bottom Inverted Rib) construction, a hallmark of early cone-top cans. Noteworthy is the absence of an alcohol statement on some variations of this can, making it a particularly interesting find for those who collect these early examples of brewing history. The can's simple yet striking design reflects the brewing aesthetic of its era. This particular style of can played a significant role in the history of beer packaging. It's a testament to a time when beer cans were a crucial step forward in packaging technology, making the beer more portable and convenient.
