2009 in Beer

In 2009 I saved every cap from every bottle of beer that I drank. Of course this collection does not account for all of the beers that I had on tap or out of a can. Also, I have a bottle cap collection in which I keep one of each of the bottle caps from each type of beer that I have ever had. So, if I tried a beer for the first time this year, it would have gone on the collection board and, thus, be absent from the picture.

But I thought this would be a fun little project. I was right.


This is me with my beer caps.


This is a picture of all of my beer caps.
