The Simon Pure Chapter of the Brewery Collectors Club of America (BCCA) was formed in 1972 to give the Buffalo area collectors the opportunity to meet on a regular basis to trade beer cans.

We are a local chapter of the BCCA whos membership extends into Canada and across NY State and Western PA.

Membership to the BCCA is not a prerequisite for membership in the Simon Pure Chapter, we strongly recommend you join the BCCA.

Chapter Meetings are held at members homes the second Monday of the month and all members are encouraged to attend.  The meetings give everyone the opportunity to see other members collections, socialize with other members and trade cans.

The Chapter hosts three trade shows every year. Spring show usually around Easter,  Turkey Trade the beginning of November and our largest show the last Saturday in July at the Eldredge Bicycle Club in Tonawanda, NY
