What is Beerphemera?

Firstly: Hello and welcome to Beerphemera. The Beer part should be obvious, and ephemera refers to:

Things that exist or are used or enjoyed for only a short time; items of collectable memorabilia, typically written or printed ones, that were originally expected to have only short-term usefulness or popularity.[1]

For me it means, labels, leaflets, beermats, posters, stickers, bottles, glasses, menus... Anything relating to beer, pubs or pub culture that I can fit into my bag and take home with me. Even if I probably shouldn't.

In time, I hope to get all of my Beerphemera on this site (which first means first means sorting through a large storage box and trying to remember where/when it all came from), get my Beer Chart online (for a more detailed idea of what that might look like, check out my friend's site Hop Horizons - although I don't have anywhere near the number or level of detail they have), and finally I'd like to open it up for others to share their beers and Beerphemera.
