I like beer. No really, I like beer culture, which includes an appreciation for beer, breweries and swag. I came up with the idea for this blog because, like many other beer fans, I've accumulated many items, usually called swag, over the years by visiting many breweries and attending many beer festivals. My two areas of focus are stickers (from breweries I've visited or sampled extensively), and beer glasses. I started to accumulate so many beer glasses that I started storing them in boxes due to space constraints and realized quickly that I needed to scale down. These days I only pick up event glasses or festival glasses, so that will be the main focus of this blog. At minimum it may be a way for other collectors to see what I've been picking up and could fill in knowledge gaps for other collectors. As I go along I'll come up with better ways to categorize things, but for now this will be somewhat stream-of-consciousness with some tagging to aid in searches.
