Re: What Brewery do You have the most Cans from?
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.

Re: What Brewery do You have the most Cans from?
Probably Rainier, General or Olympia .....3-400 of each brand. All my Rainiers are NOT jubilees...I don't collect jubilees yet. (waiting to go after those when I retire and start travelling to shows in 10 years....)

Re: What Brewery do You have the most Cans from?
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.

Re: What Brewery do You have the most Cans from?
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.

Re: What Brewery do You have the most Cans from?
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.)

Re: What Brewery do You have the most Cans from?
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.

Re: What Brewery do You have the most Cans from?
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!
