One of my favorite aspects of this hobby is meeting other collectors and making new friends. I have been fortunate in getting to know hundreds of people because of this hobby - people that I never would have had the opportunity to meet otherwise. I have visited fellow collectors all over America and Canada, as well as in England, Germany, Italy, Czech Republic and Holland. I am always happy to welcome other collector friends to my home also. We have had guests from as far away as South Africa.

Because I have collected minor variations of every type of beer can from all over the world, the collection has grown by leaps and bounds. For years, I had no place to display the cans. Most of the collection was stored in boxes; in my basement, in closets, in my attic, in my parents' attic... Finally, in 1998, I was able, with the help of my father, to construct a special building to house the collection. The collection now numbers in excess of 56,000 different cans, and all of them are on display; making it the largest collection of it's kind in the world.

Over the years, I have purchased many collections in order to add new variations and upgrades to my own collection. As a result of this, I have thousands of extra cans,("doubles"), which are available for trade or sale. I am first and foremost a collector. I created this site in order to advance my own collection as well as "clean out my garage" and get back a portion of the money that I have spent on the hobby over the years.

1. To provide collectors with a convenient, inexpensive way of adding quality cans to their collections.

2. To serve the needs of people who want to sell their beer cans.

3. To attract collectors who have quality cans and are interested in selling or trading.
