I am selling what I believe to be the largest collection of full commemorative bottled beers in the UK. The collection contains bottled beers produced from 1869 up to the end of 1999. All are full and unopened, with their original contents.

There are approximately 3,000 bottled beers out of about 4,000 known to have been produced, see the (Association for British Brewery Collectables Complete Commemorative Bottled Beer Collectors List).

Noteworthy parts of my collection include; A complete collection of Barclays (later Courage) Russian Imperial Stouts A 1977 Royal Silver Jubilee collection A collection of full UK issued beers produced for the Millennium, with a representative selection of beers produced outside the UK A huge range of Guinness commemoratives A complete set of bottled beers produced for meetings of the Association for British Brewery Collectables (formerly the Association of Bottled Beer Collectors) Two bottles of Arctic Ale Most 1981 and 1986 Royal Wedding beers Many items of which only one example is known  ...and much, much more

I have been collecting bottled beers since 1977, so my collection is the result of over 30 years of work. Anyone interested is welcome to make an appointment to view. If you have any questions or want to view the collection, which is located near Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire, UK,  e-mail me.

Serious offers for the collection are invited. The buyer is responsible for transporting. Payment must clear before any items are collected.
