The Brewery Collectibles Club of America (BCCA) is a 501(c)(3) organization established in 1970[1] by Denver Wright Jr. It is located in Fenton, Missouri, near St. Louis. The organization focuses on documenting the history of brewing both in the United States and internationally, as well as preserving brewery-related artifacts. Originally named the Beer Can Collectors of America, the organization was renamed the Brewery Collectibles Club of America in 2003.[1]
The BCCA has approximately 3,000 members globally.[2] It is managed by three officers and a nine-member Board of Directors. The organization also includes committees responsible for overseeing various club operations.
Many members belong to multiple BCCA chapters, which organize club-sponsored events in their local areas. The BCCA hosts approximately 60 regional events annually. Additionally, the organization has held an annual convention, known as Canvention,[3] every year since 1971.
