Well said Nev and I thank you that I can now graduate from those pesky banana collectors to the mature collectors
I totally agree with you, beer wagons are the way to go, and have been collecting them a lot longer than those pesky bananas.
To start the ball rolling here's a short video of my special Schöfferhofer Br 185 with a rake of Schöfferhofer wagons
On a side note, I used to belong to a Beer Club (24 members) for the past 10 years. We used to meet at the end of every four weeks (as that was our flexi period for work) in an old house where we would consume four types of different international beers.
When you arrived you were given a half liter stein full of beer and after a sip or two you had to answer three questions:-
1) what country did the beer come from
2) What was the name of the beer
3) What was the alcohol content.
To say the least not many got all three right. Although we had great fun and found out that a lot of our members geographically didn't know where Slovakia was to their a....h...s. Alcohol content used to range anywhere from 1.5% to 11.9%, so after four beers no one cared where Slovakia was.....no offense to anyone of Slovak extraction
, as one of the rules was that you couldn't ditch your beer, you had to drink the lot
In the time span that the club ran we had over 500 different types of international (and some Australian boutique beers - every now and then we would thrown in a VB and see what happened) beers from countries such as Belgium, Germany to Namibia and Bosnia-Herzogovina and countries I can't even spell now.
We used to have special half day meetings every year, where we would "taste" 10 beers
I even managed to acquire beer wagons of the beers I had drunk.
Unfortunately the club has folded as my place of employment moved into the city and we had no place to meet discreetly.
Anyway, sorry for dribbling of course
.
Bring on the beer wagons, I shout
