When the American embassy hostages were taken in Iran in 1979, my buddy and I decided to drink a sixer a day in honor of the Americans being held. The real reason we decided to do it is that we were pretty much drinking a six pack a day anyway, and this gave us a patriotic reason to be sloppy drunks...

Great article! Thanks for sharing it.

Awesome commercial. And an awesome car.

Wow! That is very cool!!

OK, it's official. The holiday season has begun.

When Yuengling first moved into Virginia years ago, I was an early adopter and a huge proponent of their beer. I turned dozens of people on to this great new beer. However, once they opened their new brewery in Florida, and the beer shipped into my area started coming from that facility (which reall...

Holy guacamole!! Ray, was that just from the recent heavy rains or did something else happen? With that much water, it's amazing that you didn't lose more, although any loss is painful. Best thoughts to you.

HA! The shirt is classic!! I love it.

Daev, in the house!

I would be happy to do 1-2 PM on Friday

Take the grateful Dead and the Beatles Command Performance here

Hey Gary,

I will take the Grateful Dead Catalog. Still looking at the others.

Keith, when you're done with the bleach, can you pass the bottle this way? I would rather be blind than see that Daev underwear picture again

Hahahahaha! Daev in the crocheted shorts at Spring Thaw is a classic. Here's another pic of him with my daughter at the show

They do, however, have an upside down Ball jar that might be of interest to a certain collector on this forum.

Sat and drank beer with Tom Petty at the Golden Spur, which was the on-campus bar at the University of South Carolina, in 1979, possibly early 1980. I was there to see George Thorogood, who was the opening act. Of course I had heard of Tom Petty, he had at least one, if not two, fairly big albums ou...

Love it that DanielinAK is the Rusty Bunch poster child. Cool cards and a great idea.

Yeah, that can is in pretty crappy taste.

If you've ever had to drive across the state of Texas, you can appreciate exactly how big it is. Took me about 14 hours from one side to the other, if I recall correctly.

PM sent on the Bull Dog Lager, the Utica and the Brewer's Best

Great post, great scenery, great pictures, great cans! Thanks for sharing.

Old Milwaukee, 99 cents a six pack, four bucks a case at the Dart Drug. I was 15, but my sister would go buy it for my buddies and I. This would have to be around 1974. The other good thing about the Dart Drug, if we didn't have the two bucks or my sister wasn't around, was that they had a huge walk...

Unfortunately, will only be able to make it for a couple of hours on Saturday, but a not to miss show!

With the last name of Shevlin, I've been called Shevy for my entire life (hence the user name). When I got the Beer Can Collector's Bible back in the '70"s I fell in love with the Chevy 85 Ale flat, and determined that one day I would own one. Yeah, I know it's not the most uncommon can, or par...

12 oz. US flats, whatever catches my eye and I think is cool. Variations have to be plainly visible from 5 feet away. I have very limited display space (maybe 200 cans), so I have to be choosy. My recent pickups at Spring Thaw are going to completely fill my space, and I'm going to have to start pul...

That arrowhead is sweet! I love finding those.

Yeah, a RB badge or wristband is generally in order. Keith is a great guy, and told everyone to help themselves. But I had no problem telling people that the food/beer was only for RB members while I was working the table. Ten dollars for all the beer you can drink, and all the food you can eat over...

The Putt-Putt Tournament was a blast. Yeah Gary took one for the team, saw him the next day and he said all his fingers were still working, so that was a good thing.

In my previous post, I was totally remiss in not giving a huge shout out to Keith, who spent the whole weekend cooking up nachos and chili and other vittles, and keeping the beer taps flowing. They may have to condemn the RB hospitality room after we pulled out, as much nacho cheese and beer as I sa...

Great show! Don't wanna miss it!
