Travis Dark Beer Cone Top Can

Travis Dark Beer Cone Top

The Travis Dark Beer Cone Top Can was produced by the Sabinas Brewing Company in San Antonio, Texas. Operating during the post-Prohibition 1930s, Sabinas brewed at the facility that would subsequently become the long-running home of the Lone Star Brewing Company.

Sabinas was an early adopter of canning technology in the American Southwest. While many breweries of the era focused almost exclusively on standard lagers and pale brews, Sabinas packaged this dark beer offering under the Travis brand alongside pale variations. The can includes the mandatory Internal Revenue Tax Paid (IRTP) tax statement.

In the breweriana community, the Travis Dark Beer cone top is celebrated as a major rarity. Its scarcity and historical association with early Texas canning make it a centerpiece acquisition for advanced collectors of cone top containers and Southwestern brewing history.
