    Fortunately I save all my bottle caps in a grocery bag for some reason. Here's a recent "normal" Ayinger cap.

    Love the Westy caps for all of the info right there, but the one on the right is pretty badass too.

    I instantly thought Hopslam or Freaktoberfest.

    used hot glue and had the same problem. held for a bit and fell off. i blame the plastic coating. i always just re-glued the ones i liked.

    for some reason is pretty accurate. even when i drank craft w/o givingn thought to it i saved caps. more so that i can remember how much i drank by how many caps are in my p0cketz the next day. from there, i just started savin' it jugs.

    Always liked these, usually not the beer inside so well, though. My favorite was, "Waste some time, collect them all"

    Hopslam is probably my favorite, but the Terrapin cap is up there:

    I think the Hopslam cap and the Three Floyds ``wavy gravy'' cap are my favorites.

    Here's a nice one lots of people don't get to see. It's from Rivertown Brewing in Cincinnati.

    Too bad the beer underneath it is often a disappointment (although they do have a couple of nice sours).

    The Hitachino owl is pretty cool (looks better in person) and I like the gnome caps from d'Achouffe. This one is from the La Chouffe bottle.

    Not the "best," but I thought this one was kind of nifty...​

    Was going to mention ayinger as well so I'll throw in another cap. Harviestown old engine oil is silver with a cool little mouse on it.

    Did you make this into a keychain? If so, what's on the back of the cap? I've been collecting a bunch of cool caps and I'm looking for something new to do with them. This looks really nice.

    Unfortunately I just googled for a picture of the cap and this was the one with the best detail. I glue magnets to the back of my caps and stick them on the fridge

    I use Liquid Nails Clear Small Projects, 3/4" magnets (50 packs from Michaels), and two 5/16" washers to shim the magnet out. I've got about 200 different caps on a fridge in the garage. After about 2-3 years and one move, I've only had three that came apart and had to be fixed.
