Dear fellow beer label collectors,
I have now been the manager of this department of the collection platform for over 7 years.
You would almost say "how time flies..."
In those years I have seen the numbers of beer labels collected grow considerably.
When I look back on the past years, I arrive at the following figures:
End of 2016: 17,277 labels
End of 2017: 18,817 labels
End of 2018: 19,792 labels
End of 2019: 20,509 labels
End of 2020: 21,524 labels
End of 2021: 34,684 labels
End of 2022: 54,167 labels
End of 2023: 57,881 labels
In the years 2021 and 2022 there has been enormous growth thanks to collector Kanes.
This mainly concerned German and Czech beer labels. The number will also be German in 2023
and Czech labels increased sharply again. Collector Naquera has contributed to a significant expansion of French beer labels.
When I look at the “Big Five” in our catalog I see the following:

Germany 28,034 labels
The Netherlands 8,106 labels
Belgium 7,654 labels
Czech Republic 4,816 labels
France 2,486 labels
The beer label collection in this catalog started on March 4, 2009. On that day, collector “GROLSCH-ETICETTEN” introduced the first label: “Grolsch Pilsener”, brewed by NV Bierbrouwerij “De Klok” from Groenlo-Enschede (LastDodo number 2003567). .
In August 2013, there was a real manager for the beer label collection for the first time: RTBF-32209. He had a lot of catching up to do in approving imported labels between 2009 and 2013.
This year I was curious in which countries our collectors all live.
We currently have 84 beer label collectors.
43 collectors live in the Netherlands
20 collectors live in Belgium
4 collectors live in Germany
3 collectors live in France
2 collectors live in Portugal
There are 2 collectors living in the United Kingdom
There is 1 collector living in Ireland
1 collector lives in Mauritius
1 collector lives in Austria
1 collector lives in Spain
1 collector lives in the Czech Republic
One collector lives in Uruguay
In addition, there are 3 unknown countries of residence where the main language is Dutch and there is 1 unknown country of residence where the main language is English.
Finally, I would like to thank everyone for their contribution to the beer labels section. Not only with regard to input, but also for editing and/or supplementing data.
I wish you happy holidays and a great collecting year in 2024.

How nice that you managed to do this. I'm not a big collector, but every now and then I add a label. Very happy days for you and all other collectors!

Thank you jopo. Happy holidays to you too.
And… every label counts and has its added value for the catalogue.
