What a character. Here we see Lance Pardue expressing great pride for his vast collection of beer bottles. 1 love getting up in the morning and looking at my bottles, Lance ex- claims, It's just another reason to got out of bed. Photo by Ian Kopczynski. Whi lile collect- ing beer bottles may sound odd, Lance Pardue in- sists that it is a le- gitimate hobby. His mother con- tends, however, that when it comes to Lance . THERE’S TROUBLE BREWING People 156 ... ost people are satisfied with col- lecting stamps or building model airplanes as a hobby, but there are very few who collect beer bot- tles. Lance Pardue, however, does. “I was five years old when my Dad and I shared a Budweiser together for the first time. He gave me the bottle and I've had it ever since ... Now whenever I come across a bottle I don't have, it goes into my collection. Lance has an extensive collec- tion of beer memorabilia, ranging from antique posters, plaques, and mirrors from all over the world. His pride and joy, howev- er, are his beer bottles. He has more than sixty different bottles from countries around the globe. It looks more like a bar than a bedroom, Mrs. Pardue com- ments, I don't like it, but I can live with.” So far, Lance has lived with his collection for eleven years now, and he has no intention of getting rid of it. ‘Eventually, I want to open my own bar in the Florida Keys and call it ‘Pardue's Bar and Grill’, Lance states. I'll devote an entire wall to display my memorabilia. Despite the variety of Lance's collection, he does have a favorite bottle. I think my favorite bottle is an Indian beer called 'Punjab'. It's really rare and it was a gift from a friend who vis- ited India ... It's the centerpiece of my entire collection. No matter how one looks at it, Lance’s collection is impressive. He has taken many hours of time into building his memorabilia to the size it is today. Each bottle has its own unique space in Lance's display case. All are in chronolo- gical order; from his first Bud- weiser to his newest “Kingfish- er bottle. It's really something to see, Lance's friend Brian Dowling ex- claims, I've never seen so much beer in my life! As for the time being, Lance will have to be satis- fied with showing his collection to his friends. By Jan Kopczynski.
