    All these threads with the different stuff people own got me thinking. Of all the beer stuff in your collections (glasses, keychains, shirts, openers, growlers) what is your most prized possession. Mine is probably a little flat metal bottle opener I keep on my keychain. It is from the Eneterprise Brewery in Revelstoke BC. I found the opener in my grandfather's house after he died. The crazy thing is the brewery only operated from 1897 to 1957 so the keychain is at least 55 years old.

    My favorite is my sign from now defunct Warbird Brewery. Its made to look like a panel to a place and is about 4 feet long and 2 feet tall. Got it from my job and has become a big point of decor in my apartment. I do love my Sam Adams mirror though.

    The ceiling fan is clearly mounted on the wall behind this mirror. Maybe he installed it after he had a few too many?
