Preserving Brewing
History, Heritage and Art
through collecting.
As a catalyst for socialization, beer and brewing have been parts of our culture for a long, long time. That includes pop culture. During the 1970s beer can collecting was one of the country’s fastest-growing hobbies among kids and adults alike. Often called a fad then, we’re here to say that beer advertising collecting is still alive and kicking, growing as fast as ever thanks to social media, online auctions, and a boom in craft brewing that’s introduced thousands of new collectibles with wild, eye-catching designs. And thanks to the fun and enjoyment it brings to those who do it.
Collecting is fun no matter how or why we do it, whether it’s to decorate a man cave, to compete with kids at school to grow a mega collection of caps, or to seek high-end vintage cans worth thousands of dollars. However or why you do it, the BCCA welcomes you; not only as a fellow fun-loving collector but as a steward of beer heritage!
