What did you bring home with you from Omaha?

#1

Post by Kotto »

There's probably another thread started on this subject somewhere, but I couldn't find it......

In addition to some memories of fun times spent with great friends, I picked up the following for the collection. Mostly upgrades, but a few newbies for the shelf. The Alt Heidelberg is IRTP, and one that I've been seeking for awhile now. I thought that the IRTP Bavarian's cone was a good deal at $200. The gold label Kato cone is another that I've been searching for, probably since the first time I saw one pictured in the BCU in the 1970s!

So, what did you pick up?

I think $200 was a steal on the Bavarians IRTP. Congrats. LEON.

Agree 100% Leon.

That can, in the condition it appears to be in, would be a decent buy for the non-IRTP version. Given you see at least 10 non cans for every IRTP can (maybe even 20/1) this was truly a bargain. My guess is the seller didn't know the difference when he priced it.

The Krueger, Schlitz (Kansas City), Drewerys (Chicago), Mickeys (by Sterling Brewers) and Falstaff (Cranston) are adds, The Falstaff from Cranston I only recently learned existed so very surprised when I spun the can to see the side label. Actually all 4 cans I added I only knew I needed after spinning them.

Old Milwaukee (Tampa), Busch (Tampa) and Schaefer were nice upgrades

I thought the hotel and hall were great - It was so easy going back/forth I thought, and nice area!

The Falstaff 16 from Cranston that I have was the only one that I had ever seen. What a terrific can you just got! I had almost given up on spinning them, and then about 4-5 years ago one of them surfaced in a collection that Ray Choquette was selling from Rhode Island. He seems to think that he had traded for the can back in the 80's. I don't think that there has been any type of significant find of those at all. I'm sure we don't have the only 2, but damn, what a toughie! Great job!!! Woody

I din't take a pic, be here's a list of what I got (includes Ebay items that arrived while I was in Omaha)

Conetop: 12oz green & gold Esslinger Ale
Flat top: Regal Pale 1st generation, Drewery's Ale OI, Diamond State, St. Claire beer (upgrade)
Quarts: Harvard Ale & Hohenadel Indian Queen Ale
Bottles: ABC steinie
Trays: Kuebler with the guy on it and Golden West factory scene
Tap Knobs: Old Ranger Beer & Ale, Drewery's and blue Bushkill
Clock: Peter Doelger
Mini bottles: a pair of Felsenbraus and 1 esslinger (to complete the pair)

So, not a ton of stuff, but enough to make me happy. There were a lot of things I wanted, just couldn't afford them. I'm looking forward to seeing everyone next year in New Mexico!

The Walter's Ale is is a new addition. The Fox Head Bock is an upgrade from a rolled to an original can. The first Schlitz is Withdrawn Free, the second is CLT 4%, the third is no Alc. content. All 3 Schlitz are new additions. Also picked up a Miller test can. Great show.

I filled some holes in my shelves, and I think I got the "worst known" tall 12 Ambrosia.
Also - luck smiled on me as I walked late into the Rusty Bunch meeting and won the raffle Kruger Ale!
