This Bro Has A Beer Can Collection Of Over 28,000 Unique Cans…This Is A Collection I Can Get On Board With

As I’m sure almost none of you bros knew, yesterday was ‘National Beer Can Appreciation Day’ across the United States. This faux holiday falls firmly within the realm of ‘everything has a holiday now and it’s stupid’, and I planned on ignoring National Beer Can Appreciation Day entirely until I came across this story about a man from Texas who has a badass collection of over 28,000 unique beer cans.

KXAN News reached out to Patrick Costigan of Buda, Texas to talk with him about his impressive beer can collection, and to get a look at what exactly 28,000+ unique beer cans looks like…this is how I envision my perfect man cave:

via KXAN:

Stacked on shelves in a shed that used to house llamas, Patrick Costigan turned his old barn into a museum of beer cans of all shapes, ages and sizes.
“I just like the way they look, the different labels and everything,” said Costigan as he showed KXAN News his collection. “The old ones are the cone tops, that’s how they first started making them.”
Sunday marks National Beer Can Appreciation Day, which celebrates when the first canned beer went on sale in 1935.
Costigan has beer cans that date to the ’30s and beyond. It’s his love of Craigslist and finding deals through the site is how the 57-year-old stumbled upon a jackpot.
Five years ago, Costigan bought 28,000 beer cans from a collector in Oklahoma. He won’t say how much he paid for it, but thousands of cans sit organized and cataloged in boxes in a separate shed.
“I couldn’t believe it, First of all, he had to go buy a trailer, to get the cans,” explained Lisa Costigan, Patrick’s wife.

First off, LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL at his wife having no clue what he was buying and just being cool as fuck with him buying a new trailer to transport beer cans across the nation. That’s a chill wife if I’ve ever seen one.

I’ll never judge someone for being a collector or something they’re interested in, but if that collection happens to be something like toenails or the underwear of porn stars I’ll certainly turn my back and do my hardest to forget that it exists in the world. This though, this collection of 28,000 beer cans is badass. This is a collection that deserves to be in a museum. If this was my collection I’d have it written into my will that upon my death the cans would adorn the walls of a saloon somewhere, and my children would be entitled to some share of that bar’s profits…because how fucking awesome would it be to drink in a bar where the walls were lined with 28,000 different beer cans?
