Downloads

Here are a few files for you to download that our members have created to help with tracking a collection of beer cans from around the world.   If you have additional files you would like to share, please reach out to Mark Rodgers (see Join & Events) page.  


A few notes: the FCEP-current.xlsx file is "inclusive" as it does list first cans as being of any size metal container that was filled with malt beverage that is meant to taste like a beer/ale/stout/etc  (alcoholic or non-alcoholic) that is known to have been brewed and canned within a country's borders.  Cans with paper/sticker labels are listed, as well as cans with importer stickers (when there is not a brewery yet known to be brewing, filling, and sealing canned beer w/in the borders of a country).  The list is presented as collected knowledge to date and the "CAN-idates" are not definitively verified by the breweries.

 

IMPORTANT NOTE, the One Can/One Country Chapter does NOT make any official decrees, arbitrations, and/or categorical statements as to what any member should collect and/or what constitutes a country - so please, each linked file is provided in only the spirit of sharing information and maybe even inspiring further conversations about discoveries or less well known information.  If you have questions, suggestions, corrections - contact Mark Rodgers.
