Beer on the wall: Tavern Trove for art, breweriana, even old brewery cookbooks
Vintage beer ads, bottles, trays, signs and more brewery decor can be found at Tavern Trove website (www.TavernTrove.com). Proprietor Erik
Amundsen lists almost 15,000 different items for the beer lover. Some of my favorite pieces highlight the nutritional benefits of beer:
He also has a few old brewery cookbooks - here's one from Storz promoting the idea of beer at a picnic, with sandwiches - just as Julia Child recommended. Check out that potato salad laden with sliced eggs! And what are those mallets for, any ways - midget croquet? Long-handled tool to crush empty cans? Who knows? But it's all part of American beer history.
The site offers several forums for collectors to learn about breweriana, and makes it easy to list items for sale.
I wish there was a category for "beer aprons."
