[ANGRY GARY]

there was alot of cans here this year. bob gould's collection is starting to see the ligh of day. Tommy Leo was kind enough to help Linda price Bob's cans. and they were priced to move. the feeding frenzy was fast and furious friday and saturday. Linda strategically put out new cans every so often to keep everyone on their toes. if you collected quarts, crowntainers and cones and you missed this show then you missed out on a heck of a lot of killer cans and killer prices.

and in the words of Leon,"click to supersize"

Tim Clark's haul by 3 pm friday

this one had the virginia collectors drooling!

Thank God some pictures were posted. This was an amazing show it appears

[kb]

always like the look of a bunch of crowntainers together, they dont get the respect..

hey AG them Bev Crowntainers moved quick I see..

[ANGRY GARY]

sold the best 4 first thing friday. also moved several of the Bev cones too! seems the virginia guys don't get the variety of them like you guys. and at a buck apiece i figure we all made out.

who had the half quarts ??

[Flat_Top]

Great stuff. Thanks for posting.

[crowntainer]

I would have been in beer can heaven had there been a way to have been there and have no doubts that I would have left flat broke. Sure wish I could have been there to dig in those crowntainers, quarts and to find out if a deal could be made with Peter on that Jax and Old Union. Sure they are long gone though. Thanks for posting pictures.

[ANGRY GARY]

peter left with two of the three cans. he did sell the san souci though. he got a great offer he could not refuse!

[Wheaton]

*Sigh.*

Our relatives bought us tickets to Dollywood so I got to spend the day baking in the sun instead of slobbering over all those goodies. That 16oz Tudor is friggin' amazing, and whomever bought it got a deadly cool can.

[MarkB]

It was a great show. Big thanks to all the guys who did the planning and set up!!!!

Here are a few more pics.

Joe P. waits for sales.


Matt (left) waits for more pint sales.


The line up by ranking after the tasting, from worst to best.



My take homes.
First row are new cans. (as is the White Horse quart)
Second row are upgrades.
third row were possible variations. The Naty Boh bock was indeed a variation I needed and the white Senate was a slight upgrade, although not a variation.

[Daev Larrazolo]

Matt Menke has the 16oz and will have many more.

[Daev Larrazolo]

I URGE you to make the trip next yr beer tasting on Friday night Schlitz took 4th place. That can bowling is a blast, AG is dang goog at it.

[danielj]

looks like you guys had a Great time,
wish I hadda been there.
Thanks for the pics, I would have jumped all over that Lucky quart in pic 4.
Maybe next year.

[Beverlx]

Monticello is a great show. I did better there than I did at Blue/Gray this year. Good drinking too.

Thanks to Robert Fondren, Linda Gould, Mark Crane, Mark Benbow, and Chip Sims for a ton of new shelvers, and to all of y'all for the Sunday morning hangover. Swam the pool twice, visited Jefferson's house, ate at Eppie's and at Michie's Tavern, bowled, did the Discovery Museum, allowed the ladies of Charlottesville right of way in the crosswalk, walked around at UVA and visited Poe's dorm room, all of that.

What a great time.

[Copperhead]

I was wondering what lucky soul got that Rheinking! Nice haul!

[LC400]

Great pics bro's,,,wish I was there...

[jwcans]

AG, appears to turned to HG in the pics.
Oustanding pics, and muchas gracias for taking the time to both take, and post the pics. Fine work.

[Lovegun]

Thanks for all the pics! Boy, you guys did well picking up some great cans. Almost looks like folks hauls from B&G! Looks like those of us that didn't attend really missed a good 1!

[John S.]

I knew the flicks were going to kill me when I saw them. Gretz cars! Aaaaaahhhhhhh!!!!!@!!@@@!!!!!
I'm going to have to try and make it next summer.

[HiJax]

It looks like there were more Florida cans at this show than any southern show I've been to in the last 20 years!! Rhein King???? San Souci? Straight Eight cones? I guess I've got to start heading north for all of the good Florida stuff

[John H.]

Spectacular picks, I'm suffering from a severe case of "show" envy. I heard one of my holy grail cans was there, the non instructional Peter Doelger, I also heard Matt picked up a Tru Blu 10oz cone, and there were red K man Krueger quarts! Hopefully, next years Blue/Gray will have more of the same. Who won the beer can bowling tournament? Thanks very much for posting the pics.

Here are my 3 cans. I was hoping to buy 2 16 oz Rainier jubs from the cans Matt was selling but he had'nt priced them yet.

John, yep, i got 4 of them, and Robert F. got a couple as well.

[halfquart]

Guys,
Here is my take. The Piels can was a bucket list can for many years. The Knickerbocker is a serious upgrade. Did better at this show than at few CANventions.

Super time, easy and relaxing show. Chris did a wonderful job - AGAIN! Brought the family this year and made a mini-vacation out of it. We had very fresh and tasty Chinese/Thai food across the street on Saturday night......

I have been trying to go out of business for some time now. I even had a blue light special on a Old Export cone for $25, no sale. I'm beginning to think no one likes me an are boycotting me.
