Featured Articles
In addition to a collecting specialty of Michigan beer can variations, Chris Taylor (BCCA 29470) has spent significant effort in sharing his knowledge with other collectors. Chris has written a number of very informative Michigan specific articles, with these appearing in publications such as the Rusty Bunch 'Rustlings' and BCCA 'Beer Cans & Brewery Collectibles'. These articles cover many of the Michigan brands both in completeness as well as timeline, and are an invaluable read for anyone interested in Michigan beer cans. Many of Chris's articles are now included with the MBC content with his permission. |
Authors note: The following collection of articles are included as originally written, with the exception of updated book references were applicable (e.g. USBC numbers are now used where possible) and original images have been replaced with links and references to MBC content. Also, while article content has been maintained, certain liberties have been taken with the formatting due to HTML generation and limitations. |
