Beer Cans
Beer cans are an underrated way of storing beer. Because it is cheaper than beer bottling, beer cans tend to be somewhat maligned, unfairly. The beer canning process makes beer cans unique among breweriana collectibles. Cone top cans and flat top cans are particularly sought after as unique pieces from America’s brewing past.

Beer can collecting had a great period in the mid 1970s but is coming back much bigger than ever in recent times, as people see the value in cans, especially those that are still full of beer, unopened. Today, canning technology has a wider appreciation that it once had, thanks to a culture that glorifies many things “retro.”

Today, cone top beer cans and vintage beer cans are viewed as hot properties and the Brewery collectibles club of America (Beer Can Collectors of America) possibly focuses on cans as much as any other kind of beer collectible.

There are several books on beer cans of note - most of them published during beer can collecting's heyday. These include:
  • Beer Cans Unlimited by Art and Pete Ressell (1976)
  • The Beer Can Collector's Bible by Jack Martells (1976, Ballantine Books)
  • American Beer Can Encyclopedia by Thomas Toepfer (several editions, 1976-1984)

Also of note is the Boston Beer Can Museum in East Taunton, MA.
