Michigan Beer Cans - Version 0.7 : 09/15/2003

Back from BCCA 2003 canvention, picking up a couple of new variations and nice upgrades or at least pictures of others. Very enjoyable discussions with Dale Rogalski, John McGuire, and Dick Adamowicz at canvention, as well as great visits with Greg Stinsa and Dick Adamowicz in August. The chance to spend time with other beer can collectors is what makes this hobby (and MBC project) so enjoyable.

This version also introduces a Featured Articles section, all currently written by Chris Taylor in the late 1990's. These articles are invaluable for those specializing in Michigan beer cans
