THE Largest Beer Can Collection

Currently, the largest beer can collection in the world is located in Etters, PA. It's so big,
Lauri & Jeff Lebo (aka Jefferson Pepper), built a 6000 square foot home to house his collection!

 
He doesn't even live in it! His house is next door.

This extreme collection includes over 75,000 cans. Amazing! We have a beer can collection but nothing even close to this.

To date, September 2009, approximately 100,000 beer cans have been produced. This means Jeff owns over 3/4's of the beer cans ever made.

Jeff is still an avid collector and travels the world looking for rare and vintage cans to add to his collection.
