Tin Can Alley

Barry's Beer can shirt

Barry Steiner was twelve years old when he found a couple of interesting beer cans as he walked home from school. Twenty five years later he's collected 12-thousand!

They're all on display at his New Zealand Beer Can Museum on his father's dairy farm at Galatea in the Bay of Plenty. The cans come from 160 countries and Barry says he's been to many of them. Apparently leaving the beer can full adds no value, so Barry's personally drunk the contents of many in his collection. Spectrum's David Steemson explores Tin Can Alley.
