Welcome to Jeff Lebo's Brewhouse Mountain
The dilemma that Jeff faced back in the 1990s was "where can I display my beer can collection. A problem many of had. Instead of paring back the collection or specializing in something, he wanted it all. His collection which now numbers over 100,000, was not suitable for a game room or basement. The solution was to build a house for them. Still that isn't large enough but it'll have to do for the time being.
It's not just beer cans. There are collections of cans for potato chips, coffee, oil, pretzels and even lard. There are brewery advertising pieces of all types, pocket watches, Americana and much more. Every time I visit, I see something I didn't notice before.
Jeff and wife Laurie are fabulous hosts. There's always snacks, beer and soda when they have open house days.
The first floor has a large living room, dining room and kitchen. All decorated with beer cans. The second floor boasts this bar and game room pictured above. Then there are several bedrooms, all featuring regional cans. There are separate rooms for Germany, Scandinavia, Australia etc. These rooms aren't large enough to house all the cans Jeff has from those regions. So, he built moving shelves. Each room has shelving 3 deep.
Movable shelving above. Check out the runners for the shelving.
This hallway is about as narrow as it can get. There are many cans here that are on shelves or stacked up and can't be seen. Hmmm.
Almost no space has gone unoccupied.
The kitchen display
Yep, even the bathrooms
