Tally-ho Ale Cone Top Can

Tally-ho Ale Cone Top History

The Tally-ho Ale cone top can was produced by the City Brewing Corporation of New York, New York. Operating out of the facility formerly known as the Frank Brewery, City Brewing was managed by executive officers John Koenig, Henry Rauch, and Frederick Paulsen. Under their leadership, the brewery rolled out the equestrian-themed Tally-ho product line, which gained notable popularity across the New York metropolitan area, especially within Brooklyn and Queens.

Beyond domestic regional distribution, the Tally-ho brand saw international export reaching markets as far as South America and the Philippines. While its lager counterpart was issued across several label variations—some of which prominently featured the names of the brewery officers on the front face—the Ale version remains among the most elusive and sought-after examples from the brewery's portfolio.

In 1941, City Brewing Corporation merged to become The Greater New York Brewery, resulting in a restructuring of their beverage lineup and phasing out the original Tally-ho cone top packaging.
