Grain Belt Ale
What is the story on the Grain Belt Ale cone top? What makes it so darn elusive? Limited production? Distribution area?
WI, MI, MN 12 oz. flats and cones,
crowntainers, 12 oz. tabs,
"Vegas" themed cans, cans with a skiing/snow boarding theme, and
12 oz. Michigan tax stamp cans

Re: Grain Belt Ale
My knowledge is pretty much limited to the fact that I don’t have one. I’m not sure that I’ve ever seen one in person.
Trade me your Lemp Brewery stuff!

Re: Grain Belt Ale
I am guessing it tasted god-awful so sales were bad. Maybe produced one year? Being from Minnesota I have seen a couple but a very tough can. It looks a lot like the beer so you may get lucky and find someone who doesn't see the ale on it....

Re: Grain Belt Ale
I got mine as part of a lot of several cans on eBay, not noted as an Ale. Displayable front but big hole on the side. Very tough can to find...

Always looking for cones or cone variations I don't have.
