Fine Rene, I totally agree. In addition, I now know how to approach the matter and can also spout my ideas from there.

According to me, the Dikke van Dale is still the authoritative dictionary in the Netherlands. It states: "Felt-like substance made from textile waste and old paper.".

Do you have to quote Van Dale in full. The lemma “felt paper” continues with: m.n. used as underlay for floor cloths and carpets.

A few centimeters higher it says:
felt pad (the) piece of felt, in particular a disc of felt cardboard to put under a glass.

The German Wikipedia states at the beer coasters: "Sie sind 1.2 mm bis 1.5 mm dick, cradles 5 g und 10 g und sind meist aus Pappe."
http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bierdeckel
For non-German speakers: Pappe we call cardboard (and what the Germans call cardboard is called a box, and the German Dose we call (canned) tin, but that aside).

It seems to me best to place all bottles regardless of size in the alcoholic category

You mean bottles (or bottles) with alcoholic content, I suppose ?! My lemonade bottles (without content) are not included anyway.

I suspect that full beer cans are not collected, otherwise you would have a problem with it ;-)

After closing this topic, Erik and I happily discussed further, putting forward similar arguments.
Yesterday an email was sent to Heiniken, the bottom stone will come up ;-)

Aha, thank you.
That seems to me indisputable proof.
Curious what Erik thinks of this.

http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biermeltje

So the experts strongly disagree…

Incidentally, I also saw the term "beer felt board".

Are also emails to manufacturers, now I will find out too!

Vrgr

Erik

I really shouldn't get involved, I already have enough work on things that I know a little about. This morning left a box of Grolsch felts at a flea market. For me, Succo (so far the largest felt collector here) can say it.

Sorry Erik, but I value what a manufacturer says 10 times more than what this vague site says.

Obviously this is a recent and rather quickly set up site, which appears to have commercial motives.

Presumably they have this wisdom from the Dutch wikipedia, which in my opinion contains incorrect information.
There is so much on Wikipedia that is completely wrong.

And here:

http://www.biercoats-collecting.com/history

They also contradict themselves.

Does the text seem familiar to you?
It is exactly the text of the site of the manufacturer that found the bookstore.

It seems to me that what is on this site has been googled together just as quickly, without even looking at the continuity of the info

Nice and knowledgeable.

Explanation for the name beer mat

Everyone knows the beer mat, but not everyone knows the history of this extremely handy utensil. It all started in the 19th century. Well-to-do drinking cups had silver or tin lids to protect the beer from insects and falling leaves when drinking outside. Less prominent citizens had to do without a lid, they covered the drinking cups with felt mats intended to absorb the beer that dripped down the drinking cup. At night the felt mats were dried to be used again the next day. Of course, the felts were quickly soiled and they gave the beer a bad taste so that people soon started looking for a better solution.

Now I don't understand it at all.
A beer mat is therefore something that you put on a beer glass and not under it.
That means that the modern beer coaster was invented by someone who turned his beer glass upside down!

Sorry, it was an irresistible urge that forced me to write this & lt;. & lt;

Yes, now that you mention it.
That is indeed a strange thought jump
Apparently the first cardboard coasters were not used to protect the table, but the beer.

I sometimes put a felt on a glass myself when I'm in an environment where something could fall into it.
That people at some point started to do the opposite is of course possible.

That also explains why the Germans call it a Bierdeckel.

As mentioned earlier by me in the topic beer coasters:

My point is that a beer mat is a beer mat and it can indeed contain the beer brand or a cigarette brand or something else, but it remains a beer mat in my eyes. When you see a mat somewhere you think a beer mat and not a soft drink mat. the whole discussion doesn't seem that difficult to me, but well who am I?

We haven't forgotten about the alcoholics section but unfortunately we haven't gotten around yet…
