Canadian Pale Lager Sign
Here is a Canadian Pale Lager Sign from the Canadian Pale Products Association (previously the Graupner Brewing Company) located in Harrisburg, PA. This Canadian Pale Lager Sign is from between 1930 to 1932 and is in very good condition considering how old it is.
The sign is approximately 20″ by 14″ and is made of embossed metal. Canadian Pale Lager was a prohibition-era malted beverage similar to “near-beer” which had an alcohol percentage between 1/2% – 1% alcohol by volume. Signs like these would have been displayed in general stores or cafes to advertise these malted beverages during prohibition when alcohol was outlawed throughout the United States.
