Now THIS is the way to do it!


Wes Boyd, a father-of-four, has constructed a massive Christmas tree made entirely of cans of Victoria Bitter ‰ÛÒ 2536 to be exact.
Measuring 4.4m the tree serves as a mighty tribute to the iconic beer and is even dedicated to a good cause.

"Mr Boyd, of Beechboro, told Perth Now he put the tree together to ‰ÛÏmake people happy‰Û.
"Me and some mates love drinking VBs, and two to three mates have been bringing empty cans over here every week for the past 14 months."

The impressive tree even lights up at night.
Mr Boyd said the tree is helping to raise money for charity Alzheimer's Australia and he will be collecting donations for the cause until the rest of December.

Merry Christmas Mr. Boyd, whoever you are. 🙂

I wonder how he did that and if it's entirely made of cans, or if there is some kind of base with shelves and the cans are just on the outside. What if a big wind comes up? (okay, sorry, it's pretty cool; just wondering "outloud")

I agree with you, there must be some sort of superstructure to hold them in place. Hell, I can't stack 3 beer cans on top of one another. (subsequent consumption) 😉
