What a nice thread for Tax day.... and we had a Jersey go down after birthing... who popped back up after the Vet hit her with everything!!! In the right light you can tell my Coronado is a Coronado. Very nice pair to add Marc! got a Lebo box of crowns and cans so will have to line up for a pic.... ...

Rawley Douglas and John Tucker tied at 140 points with CT as the champion. CBS has RD placing 2nd and John 3rd. Nice picking gentlemen! If you guys are cool with that let me know what can you'd like and send me a pm with addresses if you don't mind. I'll just be sitting here worrying how bad AZ will...

The specs are great! Just did a search on Ebay of beer and eclipse- 6 different micro cans right at the top of the list. I think you invented a new specialty. Andy

Whose stupid idea was it to do this anyway..... Until near the end of Sunday's games I had tied myself for 31st place! I'm reduced to trash talking myself. Romine won't even take my calls anymore....

ComeOnArizona!

Does anyone know the MN collector who saw invoices for Robin Hood beer? I think it had to be Metz not Storz as they seem to have continued with the brand after 1937. BTW it probably was beer not Ale- Fontenelle and then Metz both seem to have just made beer.

That thing is awesome! looks like it was just Mathias Frahm from 1850 to 1884 and then M Frahm and son from 1884 to 1894 when they became part of the Davenport Malting Co group. Andy

I confess I just threw the Bock label up as I had nothing at all on the Schlitz Bock can. Very curious to see how close they are other than the Bock font and that mine has a date and the can does not.... Does a Schlitz specialist know if that means it really is a mock up and not regular production c...

Dan has had 7 paper label Gluek's over the years. Ranged between 175 and 3300 or so. So no pattern that I could see really. 5 werre Legend 2 plain at top; 1 Legend 5 6%; and one was Legend 4 Contains More Than 3/2% of Alcohol by Weight. The underlying cans look like 3 on plains striped cans From Glu...

If you are so inclined only 2.5 hours left to make a bracket. Still 12 from last year that haven't..... Not that I would ever point out that C.E., or J.P. or T.C. and other regulars on here are MIA...... That's not CexyedUp at all (Sorry Rawley I know I slaughtered that).....

Bill's ad post looking for crowntainers got me wondering exactly who all used the striped blank crowntainer- which quickly evolved into how many different paper label crowntainers are there really? Images from cans are stolen from various RB threads or Crowntainer Central (named all theirs with thei...

The password rhymes with "Bust"

Your system seems as sound as mine- Overestimate my favorites and emotional attachments, and underestimate the teams I don't like. This guy picked the first 49 games right in 2019 by taking cold meds and sleep picking..... https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/story/_/id/39752102/march-madnes...

An LOC librarian has notifed their web team about this. Should get it fixed one of these days.

Here are some prize cans to pick from for the top three finishers. In the event of a tie I'll think of something horrible and grossly unfair to all. The Rheingold is airfilled and clean but has a nasty scratch on the back. Gunther's is very nice but lidless. Yukon is clean. Country Club malt lager a...

Posted a link to the RB tournament challenge in the sports section but figured I better say something here as we only have 2 days to fill them out. Will post a picture of prize cans the top 3 finalists can pick from- Even includes an on grade soda flat to try and be inclusive to the shadier element ...

Here is the link to our CBS brackets for 2024. Everyone who was there last year is already in the system.

My folks went to a yardsale in Phoenix that had a bunch of cans from the 80s in a crate. Guy having the sale let them have the Apache wooden case for $5. Cans were $1 except his active ashtray can because it was a flat top...... perfect....8oz Sir Lady Frothingslosh.....

Dave's Spearman Ale cone is coming back to Florida

So aah, wanted to ask if aah maybe that A-1 sign you know, kinda clashes with the Country Club cans and it might be in need of re-homing? Andy

I was planning to pull out green cans and get a nice pic but decided instead to chase an escaped piglet around for about two hours before we could get her loaded. Do you get demerits if you turn in your work a day late, asking for a mud covered me...

Incredibly crazy story about Herman Bartel's, brewer of Syracuse, NY from 1905-1907 https://www.syracuse.com/living/2022/05/the-downfall-of-syracuse-brewer-herman-bartels-in-1905.html So did this brewery exist from 1893 to 1920 then 1933 to 1942? Wonder how it survived Hermans activity. I won the Pr...

Sorry to hear it was a problem can but sure seems solid that way. Have you ever seen anything other than a Jordan or Gluek on the plain striped crowntainer? Weird it was just two Minnesota breweries using them.

Bill, just noticed you don't have a Jordan in there? Any worry about them being legit or any story there? Andy

Great find... but man that just feels so weird.

These are borrowed from auctions I won- the St Cloud is rough but a variation - so these are recent pick ups of 3 of the last 4 MN breweries I was after. St Cloud uperm rough.jpg Had to go to town and left a useless bid on a way tougher Jordan that shows the brewery but glad to get this one just the...

So a couple years ago I decided to try and get 1 label at least from every brewery in MN and WI that actually produced. Minnesota has 37 post pro breweries listed but, as near as I can tell only 26 actually went into production. After a recent TT auction got down to just 3 missing breweries, and one...

I'm with Steve on this- The bane of specialization is when you get too close to completion and the degree of difficulty to add anything goes up and up. I'm sure this has happened too many of the really high end collections. Ron Dick would have people jack their prices just because he was the one int...

I was texting with E a couple days ago and he was still sending stuff out- mine at least as I had other stuff with it.

Heard that the PO in Jax had shut down for a day or so and things all over the SE were backed up not sure how far that might have spread though?

Those look pretty awful.... I fear a well aged side-treat for the Iron Gutters..... Those may be Darwin Award eligible.....

Outstanding posts man!! Would be really interesting to try and inventory how many Pre-Pro horse drawn wagons and trucks still exist today? Andy
