Another beer thread

To go with the others on page one.
I was in a friends barn this weekend, one that has been in his family for probably 100 years. Full of old tools, signs, farm equipment etc...what you would expect from a working barn. However on one wall was probably 100 old beer cans from well before my time up to about the last Schlitz, Falstaff era- so what mid, late 70's?
I looked at that while I had that New Belgium Black Lager in my hand. I wondered does anyone here collect them these days? I mean with all the thousands of beers, seasonals etc...coming to market I thought it would be a good collectible. Probably full unopened. Does anyone do this or did I have too many beers?

I am sure some people collect them. Especially if someone has a beer room/man cave.
Full unopened cans probably can get a little money.

I know a few guys who collect labels, but not bottles..
A friend bought a 'collectible' four pack of Heady Topper online a few years back. The gentleman who sold them was nice enough to leave the cans unopened to preserve the value.
not sure that counts though...

I have some Kuhnhenn labels hanging around that I would be willing to mail if anyone wants them.

Yes, people collect them. Google "vintage beer cans" and you'll find a lot of info including ebay sellers. For that info I require a payment of 5 vintage beer cans. Mail to:

I used to collect bottles, but that began to take up too much room..Now, once a year, we take the bottles and soak the labels off..My wife puts them into sketch books, set apart by different styles of the beers..
I only take labels from beers I have had, and am in the high hundreds with several full books

Saw something on TV flipping around one time, guy had tens of thousands of bottles and cans, had a whole separate like guest house full of them. Claimed some of the older ones were worth upwards of 50k a can.
Whenever asking a question like this, always presume, no matter what the item is, or how stupid it seems to collect it, people do.
How absurd is this?

From my youth, there is a hamburger joint across North West Street from Millsaps College in Jackson called CS's (1359 1/2 N.West Street). The guy who owned the place collected beer cans. They are still there as is the beer can collection.
He has hundreds of cans and bottles on shelves in the place.
Neat Burger joint. Order and they bring your food. When you get through you go to the register/bar and tell them what you had and they ring it up. You never get a ticket.
The Inez Burger is a big deal. Has chili and cheese on it. Lots of other burgers too. Pimento Cheese Jalapeño Pepper and Bacon burger is also nice.
Inez Burger Meat, Cheese, Jalapeño, Chili - Small is shown @ $3.25
I bet Coater has been there, if he will admit it...

Well I'm not talking about vintage I'm talking about new. I was drinking this Terrapin Mosaic-which I like a lot, and just realized the artwork on some of these is pretty astonishing and with the small batch limited edition types thought it would be something that 30 years from now my kid can get on the food board and say "I remember the old man slamming those mosaics like he was going to the electric chair. He has a bunch of cans in the barn." they will be drinking freeze dried beer then.

I did, as a kid. There was a group of us in jr high that collected and traded, similar to baseball cards. The key was to know people that traveled, a lot. I had cans from all over the world with some very cool and some, kinda "racy" names, several "print errors", upside down stuff, etc..
After my first serious move and trying to keep up with many, many leaf bags of cans, I decided to give it up. My collection stayed in the tack room of my fathers barn for a long time, but eventually I let him carry to the dump. This was in the 70's, if today, I could have peddled a few on the internet.
