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!

TESTIMONIALS

A CRAZY RIDE

“You know, everyone thinks they’re the only one at first”. I first heard that at my first Greater Delaware Valley Chapter meeting about a million years ago! Here we are 50 years after the St. Louis “bunch” created this fantastic, wonderful, crazy, ride.

Here’s to the next 50!

THRILLED !

I was so thrilled a couple of months ago to find out the BCCA was still going. I just had to re-join. I started re-buying cans that I sold off 20 years ago... I wish I would have never sold them... It gets expensive 'real quick'... HAHAHA. Either way I am 'hooked' all over again, and I love it. I am planning on going to my first CANvention in New Mexico. Cant wait.

Awesome website and great job to everyone of you that have kept the BCCA going strong.

Thanks again.
