What is BCWC?

BCWC (Brewery Collectibles World Convention) – is an organization which is being held once in two years and gathers beer collectors all around the world. The organization which will be held in Istanbul on June 2021, firstly was held in Martin, Slovakia in 2013, then in Milwaukee, USA, after in Tychy, Poland and lastly in La Plata, Argentina. The organization gathers beer collectors all around the world every once in two years, and is held in different continents every time.

What is being done on BCWC?

In this organization which thousands of people all around the world whose common ambitions are collecting and beers; find opportunities to meet, get along and add new things to their collection and also is a great opportunity to getting to know new countries, their cultures and their beers, also for tasting them.
We can list the organization's most important activities as written in below.
Opportunity to trading different countries' beer collections,
Opportunity to getting to know beer collections of the countries being travelled to,
To visit big and small beer manufacturers' factories and pubs, and beer tastings,
To get to know and wander in the cities which are being travelled to,
To taste the beers collectioners took them with, and competitions,
Opportunity to meet people in person who share the common ambitions and was met in virtual.

How did BCWC come to Turkey?

Brewery Collectors Club of Turkey is the first and only Turkish beer club which is a member of Brewery Collectors Clubs of the World, and also takes part in BCWC World Organization Committee with its representative. This committee is in charge of deciding where BCWC will be held and makes its decision with a long and detailed election. Candidate country does their presentation six years before the event and becomes a candidate for nomination. Then with the international and local organizations they make, they prove that they are eligible for such a big event. In BCWC, after candidates make their last presentation, committee makes a voting session and determine the winning country four years before the event.
In 2017, in the voting which some of the candidates were Turkey, Ukraine, Portugal and Germany, we claimed the right to make this event in Istanbul with receiving most of the votes. In 2019, we accepted the key to this event until it will be given to the next country after us.
