Like many teenage boys in the 1970s, Larry Handy was bitten by the beer can collecting craze. But for Larry, this was not a passing fad. Instead, Larry’s collection has become an inspiration for what dedication can accomplish. Over the years, Larry has carefully curated what is perhaps the most extensive assemblage of beer cans and breweriana from the Philadelphia and Eastern Pennsylvania areas, which have a rich history in American brewery lore.
Larry’s many discoveries include numerous unique and intriguing pieces from long-defunct breweries. But his legacy extends far beyond his exceptional artifacts. Larry has been a long-time and highly effective promoter of both brewery history and the breweriana collecting hobby.
