One of the benefits of dealing in antiques is being able to add to my own collections. And collecting antiques is a very rewarding experience. Not only can you display your collection for you and your friends to enjoy looking at, but you can also "physically" enjoy many collections. If you collect board games, you can roll the dice and have a game or two....if you collect books, you can sit in a comfy chair and read a few chapters....if you collect cars, you can take a drive to the park on a sunny Sunday afternoon. But if you are a Brewerianist (someone that collects beer items), your hobby enjoyment should not go past the "visual" stage. Beer, unlike wine, does not improve with age.....all those things floating in a 70 year old bottle of beer are not meant for human consumption.
