Some of the more interesting cans are the "store brands."  These are cans packaged and sold for a particular commercial interest, usually a grocery or a liquor store. They have also been brewed for clubs, bars, drug stores, and restaurants.   These cans range from the very common to the very rare.  Some of the more famous brands include 905, Brown Derby, Katz, Hoffman House and 7-11. The rarest may be the green and brown Brown Derby can produced for Safeway by Humboldt Brewing in Eureka, California in the 1930s.

Some of the store brand/private labels flats in my collection.

The chart below lists the different brands and who sold them.  I have added pictures to many of them and some have links to larger pictures. I am also slowly adding the brewer(s) that produced these beers.  If more than one brewer made a particular beer, then I listed them all.  Please note that sometimes a single brewer might have used more than one name. For example, Canadian Ace in Chicago also used Atlas, Jester, United States and other names as well as "Canadian Ace."  The brewery name in bold is the brewer that produced the can pictured in the righthand column. If more than one brewery produced the design pictured, I highlighted each brewery that used that particular can design.
