Lance Rice remembers perfectly the day his 16-year-old self collected his first beer can. It was July 8, 1974 and it was an Burger Beer can at Kelley's Island, Ohio. Today, Lance has thousands of beer cans and he can tell you exactly when and where he collected each one. Lance is a self-taught beer genius with a photographic memory. Lance also has autism and at 55 years old, he's ready to embark on the biggest journey of his lifetime.
Lance's nephew, Aaron, is determined to make a documentary about his uncle's journey around the country to visit the breweries he has admired from a far. Growing up, autism was not well-understood and Lance struggled severely in life. At one time, Lance was not even able to leave his home, so taking this nation-wide brewery tour is a true dream come true. Lance hopes to write a book about beer and his accomplishments. Here's to that dream also coming true. Cheers, Lance!
