Publications

The BCCA was the first to publish a comprehensive volume that cataloged a significant number of beer cans, way back in 1975 with its inaugural softcover Guide to United States Beer Cans. At the time, we also published a black and white newsletter to our membership that was, well, literally a newsletter entitled BCCA News Report. (These publications are still available in limited supply from various sources: eBay, used-book stores, the BCCA Supply Shop and others).

Have a look at the fine quality publications now available to members and we think you'll agree you can't live without them. Join now to receive our roster and magazine, as well as a deep discount on the two USBC books detailed below!

Conetops, flat tops and pull tabs in all sizes, including quart cones and gallon cans are pictured and estimated values are given. Crystal clear photos of the best-condition cans available result in page after page of breathtaking rarities in top condition, and variations of more common cans in which even the pickiest variant freak can revel.

Back issues and out-of-print pubs

As mentioned above, several out-of-print issues are available in limited supply. The BCCA Supply Shop offers back issues of the BCCA News Report in single-issue lots or by yearly volume. Check out the availability of the publication you're looking for.
Another popular item available in the Supply Shop is the Wolpe catalog. While not a BCCA publication per se, this is perhaps the most comprehensive list of American beer cans ever compiled (and was the list on which the USBC was based). It's a large text listing without photo reference, but many die-hard can collectors cannot live without it. It is, to our knowledge, only available through the BCCA. Check the Supply Shop for availability.
