EXCELLENT HOBBY
*****Buy Sell Trade*****... Give me a Holler.
Hi All! I am a collector of (you guessed it!) BEER CANS and Florida Breweriana. I started collecting in the early 70s, on my bike as a kid. My Dad would also help me out by buying some cans that were obsolete at the time. Well as time went on.... the cans were boxed and stored until someone gave me the "BIBLE" by Jack Martels (Beer Can Book) in 1997.
Then I started to go through it and say "Hey I've got that one."
I just recently started to specialize in Florida Breweries (2000).
I have now (2003) expanded into Florida Brewpubs. It's been facinating exploring there histories and what they produced (tasting also). My main function of this Web page will showcase my Collection and provide history with each Brewery.
Therefore I am on a QUEST FOR KNOWLEDGE!!!
MY COLLECTION!
This is a Poor Man's Collection! But my Passion for Collecting Rivals Everyone!
In 1987 Florida Law was changed, enabling establishments to produce and sell there own Beer on their premises. Winter Park Brewing Co. became the first brew pub in Florida owned by Charles Branden.
Many brew pubs have come and gone, so I will start sorting them as "Operational" and then "Awww Wake up Florida"
