I'm just curious as to what Brewery You Specialize in and how many Cans You may have from that Brewery?....For Myself Pabst Dominates the Shelves....This includes all Brands Produced by Pabst.....I have 57 Cans in all....What do You have?

My specialty is American straight steel tabs. I have 191 different cans from Associated and their various subsidiaries. (Sterling, Pfeiffer, Old Dutch, Drewrys, Jacob Schmidt, Atlantic, S. Edelweiss, et al) That includes around 60 variations of Schmidt scenes. :cool:

Since I collected currents until about 2000, I'd guess it's AB. Could be Magnify (my local craft brewery which produces massive quantities of new cans). I also have a whole bunch of Ballantine cans, nearly all of which are 12 oz.

That's really Cool All the Cans You Guys get to look for!....I thought Rainier would be one Brewery with Hundreds of Cans to find!
Sounds like Associated and Drewerys has alot as well...Leon I always liked Your Altes Can pictures!....I would think there is a Ton of Black Label's to!

This is very Cool!

Interesting question. I wish I had more from the brewery's I collect, but off the top of my head, I'd say St. Claire. I've managed to acquire all seven of the known cans, and that was no small effort. When I was biking to high school, I used to ride past the only remaining building where it used to be. Sadly, the building has since been torn down.

Well, I collect Atlantic of course, but there are only 8 cans from them. That would be 5 cones and 3 flat tops.

Most of the cans I have are from Carling Atlanta (1958-1973). I'm only missing a few.

( The Narragansett coaster snuck in the picture because it goes with my un-pictured Dr. Seuss Narragansett tray.)

Probably close to 700 from Rainier in Washington (San Francisco excluded) but that's split between Seattle and Spokane. Is that more than one brewery?

Runner up would likely be Grace Bros.

Do the cans have to be different? I have about 50,000 cans from Olympia that are buried in various pits scattered around the Northwest due to space constraints at home.

The main collection is Canadian.Since they are packed away and I can't count them I am guessing Molson but it may be Labatt's. Lots of O'keefe ,Carling and Carling O'Keefe for that matter as well,

Interesting question!

27 Ind Coope (United Kingdom) all flats...
45 Tecates - 6 from when it was Tecate, and 39 as Cuauhtémoc (minor variations - all but a couple are straight steel - flat, zip, fan and I do not collect the imported in the U.S. versions)
56 Coors - all flats

I tend to pick a brand/brew from each country and collect the variations from first can to some arbitrary stopping point. So I do not collect all Castlemaine cans such as Lite, Export, Gold, special issues, etc... - just XXXX Bitter Ale for instance.

Cheers!
