I didn't think it was possible...

I may have entered the realm of: Too Much Beer!

Specifically, I have become the owner of my Grandfather's beer can collection. Complete, unopened beer cans with the beer still inside...

This collection started in the mid-50s and includes over 200 different types of beer!!

Imports, domestics, home-mades... many you've never heard of or have gone out of business....

I'm thinking of lining my garage wall with them...

Any other ideas?

Do you have any Eastside, by any chance?

Sweetness... I tried that once but I just drank the beer. lol j/k.
I collect alot of stuff, although beer cans arn't one of them. I like collecting Die Cast cars but I've been limited to that due to expense. =) I have a bunch of old Coke Cans and bottles downstairs. You have to be careful with the cans though, they can explode if you store them in a warm climate.

a few years ago i worked in a bottle recycling plant and we would get pallets of old beer bottles from like the 40's and up. i got all sorts of bottles from up here and a few types that don't exist like "love beer" brand of beer.

Good idea to display them...just put them UP HIGH!!!!! If you ever run out on a Sunday early, and you feel desperate, you might just pop a top you wish you didn't!

I got some of the Coors 'Official Beer of the Alb. Balloon Fest' when I was there many years ago(went about 3 years in a row)....special cans w/ balloons..
Unfortunatley, my ex has them now...

I rememeber when Schilitz was the biggie!!!!

What was the one w/ the Big blue Bear on it??? I had a Tshirt of that one about 80 years ago...forget the name...I think it started w/ a S as well. But I could be wrong....

Do ya have a 'Lone Star'????
