Our chapter supports those who are interested in the history of breweriana from around the world.
We are a vibrant Chapter of the BCCA - the BREWERY COLLECTIBLES CLUB of AMERICA.
OC/OC is also one of the founding supporters of the BCWC - BREWERY COLLECTIBLES WORLD CONVENTION
With 35 years of commitment to collecting and sharing information about beer cans from around the world, our chapter is at the forefront of gathering those who enjoy our far-flung hobby. Our chapter started in 1990 by collectors such as Jay Dertinger & Bob Taylor.
Jim Friesen &
Vern Hastings's
leadership invigorated the chapter in 1995 and now we boast a membership of about 100 members who hail from more than 20 countries across the globe. We focus on collecting at least
One Can from every
One of the Countries of our planet.
It is a VERY taste-full-filling hobby!
Take a look at the "JOIN & EVENTS" page for details about how to be part of the chapter. Below is information on recent news about updates to this website and where to find info on upcoming events.
Once a member you can explore and download our 35+ year history of documenting the collecting of beer cans from around the world shared through our "most awarded" NEWSLETTER in BCCA history.
On March 6th added the first newsletter of 2025 and retitled a few pages. The Newsletter Archive I believe is now complete. Previously added more info on both the BCWC 7 and CANvention 54. On January 12th updated membership downloads (see "JOIN & EVENTS") and the list of potential first cans page found under "ABOUT US +" on the page bar above.
Note: there are now four parts for the newsletters: PT.1 2025-2024, PT.2 2023-2005, PT.3 2004-1996, and PT.4 1995-1990. Given limitations of the menu bar, click on "MORE" above to see, well literally, more!
