2022 Rusty Claus Secret Santa

Post by Buddy »

Rusty Claus Secret Santa is Open to all Rusty Bunch Members

To Join Click Here: Join Now !

How do you start? Simply write down the beer items on you're "Realistic Wish List" for a Secret Santa.

This is for fun and about the spirit of giving so approach this as making someone else happy rather than asking for grade 1 super tough items.

List the beer related items you'd like to see this holiday season. Since most people on our website won't know your actual name, please list your actual name, mailing address (or refer to the Membership Roster in the Members Only section).

Be realistic...don't expect a Triangle, ABC Ale or an indoor Fort Pitt Ale OI to be sent to you.

We are The Rusty Bunch but asking for a minimum grade isn't out of the question.

We'll leave this posted thru the month of December.

Have fun and thanks for being a member of the Rusty Bunch!

Rusty Claus, I've been a good boy this year. Even had a display of CANvention related items in Norfolk. All I want for Christmas is a CANvention related paper label can (not the official production cans).
It can be from a person or a chapter, but should have some reference to a CANvention. I know I am missing some of the John Paul cans from back in the day.

Thank you, Baxter

Dear Rusty Claus, I would like to believe I have been a good collector and accumulator for the past year, I've been able to find homes for several hundred homeless cans and I've also been able to contribute to several collectors side collections.

A BIG Thanks to one of your busy elves (BCCA # 12484) for contributing a very informative story on the Old Cars set from Wisconsin. I would like to start a side collection of this set so if you could find a couple of those cans in your sack, particularly 2004 and 2008 which pertain to my auto project out in the garage, I sure would appreciate that.

Merry Christmas to you, Mrs. Claus and all your busy elves..

Dear Rusty Claus,
I've been good, but haven't been able to get out much this year to collect the old cans, so if you have any old Goebel flat tops around, they would have a welcomed spot here with me!

Thanks again! Have a Happy and safe Holiday Season!

Hey Rusty Claus

I had a pretty darn good dumping season again this year. But I can't dump everything, so here's what I would like to see this year.

-National Bohemian Cans from Detroit (I have the older ones with Mr. BOH already)
- Haas HP Cone
- Paper Label Michigan beer bottles. Up until mid 60s is what im looking for!

Dear Rusty Claus,

Note the note you left me last year!

Hey Roy, I've got some bad news, kiddo. You are quite firmly on the naughty list this year. I've checked it twice, and there's your name.
Now, I know that you're a great guy, but I've been getting a lot of reports of naughty behavior from the Waffle House waitresses that you are hitting on when you stroll in around 2 am, after your Friday and Saturday night beer pong parties. And from your wife who states that she has to wash the sheets every Saturday and Sunday to get the smell of Natty Light, waffles, and chees grits out.

I think you could easily get on the nice list with some helpful behavior and acts of kindness, so now is the time to start!

Well in 2022, I only drink quality beer and only one or two on weekends. Know when I eat at Waffle House I leave $20 tips for all those who I offended, and I wash our sheets and make up the bed!

P.S. if you want to grab a beer feel free to get the lot or Just one. PS the Fridge is near the door.

All I ask for is any Rainier Cans in good condition.

Yours truly, Ric "Roy" Rogers 2523 Faulkner Court, Ocean Springs, MS 39564.!
Cheers, Roy Rogers of Mississippi..and Trigger says hi.

Dear Rusty Claus,

I have tried to be good this year, I guess you'll have to judge that. But if you agree I've been OK, you would make me very happy if you could leave me some of those weird, brightly colored Michelob Ultra 25 oz. cans with NBA teams on them, either from last season or this one. I'll do my best to pay it forward with some of my Rusty Bunch brethren once I get these darn final exams graded at school!

Dear Rusty Claus,

I hope you and Mrs. Rusty Claus are doing well. How is the dumping at the North Pole?

It’s been quite a while since I have written a Mr. Claus. I’ve been a pretty good boy this year I think. I am wishing for any of the Tech (premium or golden) 12oz or Tech Ale 8oz flat tops from Pittsburgh.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Sincerely,

Dear Rusty Claus,
Tis a festive season, indeed. I am definitely enjoying some tasty seasonal brews! I have pretty good this year, attending the Canvention, but missing out on some other local shows. Reconnected with some old friends and making some new ones. What I would like this rusty Christmas are some fine flat tops from the great Pacific Northwest. I am especially interested in some of the less common labels like Rainier and Olympia, but will be joyful with any new cans you bring.

Merry Christmas!

Santa Santa,
I am still around, so it must be a good year! I have enjoyed more beer shows this year than I have in a long time, plus I got to see several collections I have not seen before. It HAS been a good year.
What would top off the year would be any "smalls" (breweriana) from the Senate or Congress brands of beer. I have some, more would be welcome.

Dear Rusty Claus,

I believe in you so much, I'm asking for a Triangle, ABC Ale or an indoor Fort Pitt Ale OI.

But if you can't come up with those, I'd settle for any flat or cone I don't have already, any grade from 1+ to 8- . Maybe a Schlitz from Tampa, a Schmidt can from Jacob Schmidt div of Associated, a Meister Brau can from the "country" series or those other earlier series that you never seem to see as a dumper.

Oh Rusty Claus, You know that my schedule is as packed as yours throughout there year and I don't have much room to misbehave. Everyday feels like Christmas eve to me, but I am managing and now that I have time to work on the Winter 2023 issue of the Rustlings, it would be great to get a whole stocking full of future Rustlings stories in word document form and complete with jpegs. you can have them sent to my email address at claytonemery32806@aol.com to help lessen the burden of you hand delivering them to me with your sleigh and reindeer. I know that will free up some time for you to deliver the other Rusty Bunch members their special secret Santa gifts in a more expedited manner.
Thank you for the wonderful year you gave us last year and we hope for just as good of a 2023!!
