Beer Cans

Are there any activities or hobbies you’ve outgrown or lost interest in over time?

When I was younger I had a strange hobby, it was collecting beer cans.

I use to log the name of the, country it originated from, brewery, name and type of beer, e:g Stout, Lager or Ale.

Then I would write in my book and give it a reference number.

Friends and family use to bring me a can back when they went on holiday or traveled to a different part of the world.

I can’t remember, but I think the world record was 10,000; that is all different cans, I believe the guy had his garage full and even in a spare room in his house.

I had about 150 different beer cans, I use to have them on show in my bedroom.

When I decided to stop collecting it was a big decision to have to recycle them, but I did with a heavy heart.

HAIKU

Beer cans, ten thousand.

I only have a few, uh.

I’ll run out of room.

I have just looked up the world record.

Largest Collection of Beer Cans

Largest collection of beer cans … William B. Christensen of Madison, New Jersey, USA has a collection of over 75,000 different beer cans.

THAT IS A LOT.
