Breweries Using Crowntainers

The Crown Cork & Seal Company sold their Crowntainer cans to 74 breweries in 53 cities in 19 states. These states were mainly concentrated in the Northeast and Upper Mid-West as shown on the map below. In addition, crowntainers were also used by breweries in Cuba and Venezuela.

Following the map is a list of breweries by state that used crowntainers, either in production or as an unsuccessful prototype. Most of the breweries using crowntainers and other cone tops were small breweries with local or regional coverage. These small breweries preferred the cone top style beer cans since they could reuse their existing bottling equipment and not have to re-tool their entire assembly line for flat-top beer cans. By the end of the crowntainer era in the mid 1950's, about half of the breweries using crowntainers had either closed or were purchased by a larger company.
