About Us


In 1976 a group of beer can collectors from the Green Bay, Wisconsin area started a Chapter of the BCCA that became the Packer Chapter. The Packer Chapter is still based from Green Bay, Wisconson and is a local chapter of the BCCA. The BCCA is the Brewery Collectibles Club of America (formerly known as Beer Can Collectors of America). The chapter promotes trading of beer cans and breweriana. We also like to generate an atmosphere to allow conversations and learning about beer cans and breweriana with people who share the same interests.

In 2010 the Packer Chapter became a local chapter of NABA. The National Association Breweriana Advertising (NABA) is America’s first National breweriana collectibles organization dedicated to the preservation and study of American brewery advertising. Founded in 1972, NABA is an organization with membership in virtually every state and many foreign countries.

In 2019 the Packer Chapter became a local chapter of ABA.

Beer can collecting probably started in 1935 when Krueger Brewing Company first introduced beer in cans. Even before 1935 there was other breweriana to be collected. The Can collecting craze of the '70s introduced many people to the hobby.

Today there is a wealth of different breweriana to be collected, although my favorite is still the can.

What is

Breweriana





Breweriana is anything that has to do with the beer making industry and advertising. In other words beer cans, coasters, advertising, signs, bottles, bottle caps, labels...and the list goes on and on. If it has beer on it, had beer in it, or in some way was involved with beer, then it's breweriana and odds are someone in our club collects it.
