Welcome to the A-1 Chapter!
The A-1 Chapter was founded on October 4, 1975 following an organizational meeting among beer enthusiasts in Arizona. The meeting was held at the Carling-National Brewing Company in Phoenix with 25 participants in attendance. Next year, in 2025, our chapter will be celebrating its 50 year anniversary!
Our chapter includes individuals who enjoy all aspects of beer and brewing history. Collecting interests vary among individuals, spanning from Pre-Prohibition items to modern craft breweries. Such items found may include advertising signs, trays, cans, or any other items related to the brewing industry. On average, our membership consists of approximately 90 members from across the country. The A-1 Chapter hosts five buy/sell/trade sessions in varied locations throughout Arizona. Our bi-monthly 10 page full-color newsletter, the Can-O-Gram, includes a calendar of upcoming events, photographs, auction results, beer related stories, local micro-brewery updates and more. Our National organization is the Brewery Collectibles Club of America (BCCA). We are also a Chapter Affiliate of the American Breweriana Association (ABA), and the National Association Breweriana Advertising (NABA). We strongly urge membership to our National organizations for those interested in the hobby. If you enjoy collecting breweriana or simply love beer and beer culture, check us out! We are staunch supporters of the local craft beer movement.
