Walter's Bock 12 Oz Zip/Tab Top Can

Walter's Bock Tab Top Can

The Walter's Bock 12 oz can is an iconic piece of Rocky Mountain breweriana produced by the Walter Brewing Company of Pueblo, Colorado. Operating on Hickory Street in Pueblo for over three-quarters of a century until its original plant closure in 1975, Walter Brewing served as one of southern Colorado's defining regional breweries.

Bock releases were typically brewed as seasonal specialties, making regional bock cans particularly sought after by collectors of mid-century breweriana. The can features traditional styling with prominent Walter's branding and color blocking characteristic of the brewery's late-era lineup.

Collectors note that variations exist across different manufacturing runs, with differences found in manufacturer marks—such as those by Continental Can Company—as well as slight shifts in mandatory text layout and bottom rim profiles. Because Walter Brewing distributed primarily to Colorado and neighboring western states, this can remains a treasured snapshot of Pueblo's independent brewing heritage.
