...now look at me.
I love all beer: 40s, cheap cans of bad beers, & expensive crafts.
64oz Rogue Yellow Snow IPA.
In Brooklyn, on the corner of Madison & Marcus Garvey, at night, brownbaggin, with a ski mask on. Seriously.
I don't normally drink weaksauce Budweiser 40s, but it's all I could during my trip to the Poconos. I just like the photo.
During 2 weeks away at work training... yep, work training.
I'm a huge MMA fan.
By the lake I grew up on. On Mother's Day 2008. My mom actually took the photo. She's so proud.
Swillin in a tunnel near my apartment.
Seaside Heights, NJ during a 40oz Crew meeting.
On my balcony during a lightning storm.
I love to go fishin with my dad. Small bass, big beer.
Some old photos of my friends swillin 40s...
My wife, Mrs Bruz... she actually only ever drank a whole 40 once, while we were camping.
My college roommate Beerface & I - the duo who started what became the world's largest 40oz collection.
My wife & I met years ago while working as servers at Lone Star Steakhouse - we met lots of cool people there, which led to many classic parties & camping trips.
Beerface & I swillin 64oz OE800s on Halloween 2000
Old School, aka 'OS'
Sam swillin a 64oz OE800 (you can tell these pics are from the late 90s since OE 64s haven't been made since then)
Coors Light tastes like piss... especially this one... considering I pissed in it. Don't tell Jay.
The start of what is now the largest 40 collection in the world.
Through my website I met another 40 collector, 40 Ounce Legend. He had more bottles than me. Long story short, we met up, drank 40s together, and a couple years later he wound up handing his collection down to me (he had 131 bottles at the time) because he was moving and didn't want to deal with packing/moving them all. I inherited approximately 40 new bottles for my collection.
During my college years I went on many roadtrips with my friends: Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Baltimore, Virginia Beach, Providence, Maine, Toronto, Montreal, Quebec City, etc... finding tons of new 40s along the way, leaving no liquor store unturned.
Today I have the world's largest 40oz collection with nearly 700 bottles (possibly more by the time you read this). My site has evolved from Bruz's 40oz Malt Liquor Paradise to 40ozMaltLiquor.com. I also run www.40ozCrew.com, the message board to this site, the members of which are known as the 40oz Crew. We are the largest online drinking crew, yet we are much more than an "online drinking crew". It's no longer all about drinking/collecting 40s... that's a common interest amongst most of us, but the crew runs deeper than that. We get together from all over to chill & swill. NJ, NYC, Chicago, Las Vegas, Memphis, Florida, Montreal, Amsterdam, Windsor, California, Texas, Alaska, the UK... where there's beer to be consumed, there's the 40oz Crew. It's friendship, it's memories, it's family... not everyone always gets along yet we're tighter than any other group. There's nothing fake or phony here. It's real life... photos & videos don't do it justice. Those who have been a part of it know what I'm talking about.
