Which kind of beer mats do you collect?
I collect any beer mat from the entire world, as long as it has the name or the logo of a
brewery or a beer on it. I want one piece of each mat in my collection, but
I also keep doubles for trading.
I started collecting in 1993 and I have about 1200 mats now.
How do you store your mats?
My mats are stored in transparent plastic folders, so I can look at
them from both sides. The size of the folders is A4, so about four
round mats or six square ones fit on a page. The collection is ordered
by brewery and by country.
At the moment, they are filling nine large organizers on my bookshelf.
Do you buy mats?
No, I only trade them for others. Ok, if I would really need a mat and if I could see it
first, I would also buy it, but this applies only to Swiss mats.
