I have been under stress because I'm partially laid off right now so I figured a good trip with my son looking for beer stuff would be fun.
I found the reason I am so passionate about the beer cans and such is because of the wonderful trips my father and I took. As such, I figured if I start taking my boys more to the shows little by little and doing a few beer hunting trips, we may get a 3rd generation collector some day.
Left at 9am after a breakfast with my two little ones. The big teenager was still asleep. We left at 9am, made a circle in upper Wisconsin traveling 440 miles hitting West Bend, Sheboygan, Manitowoc, Howard's Grove, Steven's Point, Tomah, Deforest and home.
The old Milwaukee 14oz has a dot over Salem.
2 of the Happy Days cans are decent.
The Pabst Blue car works great! A few chips at the base.
The Blatz is a Peoria with a Kentucky Tax top lid and a bottom vanity lid.
The Bock carboard standups are for me. I love the Schmidt one. I have been doing more and more bock lately.
The bottles are mostly Wisconsin but some other states.
While going through West Bend I went past the area where those Meister Brau cans were found.
The Airport Bar called Sky Ranch Bar in West Bend, Wisconsin. The dump is still there if anyone wants to go.
Well before the Meister Brau find the farm had pushed the pile of Field Stones on top of the dump. Would take some good lifting but its still there.
The bar started in the 20s so there might be some good stuff at the bottom.
