Best Bottle Cap

I didn't know that "California Brewed" cap was shared among different breweries. I see them on Moylan's in my area.

Also, does BCBS have its own cap? I had no idea. Granted, I've never seen a bottle in the wild since we do not get GI (until later this year)

 

I know for sure that Marin uses them too.

 

All black with the Bourbon County "logo" typeface in white, just like the BCBS label

My Favorite is Cantillon, I also Love the Regular Dogfish Cap

 

A few of my favorites from over the years.

 

I'm surprised that nobody has mentioned Southern Tier yet.

 

I know this is a little off topic, but how are you guys prying your tops off without bending and creasing them? I want to save my caps for an inlay in a coffee table but they're all bent so far. Any ideas?

 

just pop a quarter on top before you use any opener & it should keep it intact, cheers!

 

Old fashioned wire church key. Works like a charm.

 

THAT IS GENIUS.

 

I use the quarter trick... if found that wine corkscrews with a bottle open on the end (bigger the better) work best

 

They have easy openers for bottles, just slide over the cap and push down. I have one, but it makes 2 tiny dents on some caps. I have since lined the inside with tape and it works better. http://www.amazon.com/Brookstone-Easy-Open-Bottle-Opener-70020/dp/B003GEUW5K

Usually I use a quarter over the cap. I have a querter wrapped in painters tape that I keep in the drawer, keeps it from scratching the top.

 

I've had two of those types over the years. Both suck. They work for about 6 beers, then they start mangling it, or stop even prying it off. The free paint can opener church key type are the best. Pull it off without any dis-figuration.

 

I was going to start a new thread when I saw this one, hopefully it will garner some attention.

I want to create a table top with beer caps and i have a bunch, but the more the merrier. Anyone have any they are willing to send me that aren't bent or disfigured, Im sure we could work out a payment or something cheaply!

 

I just pop it with a Bic lighter - I will try to the quarter trick though.

 

There a lot of cool caps but I like Lagunitas. They come in different colors too just like Anchor and Sierra Nevada.

 

I go around the entire bottle cap with an opener just slightly popping up each part of the cap until I can pull it off. It leaves the cap in perfect condition.

 

A couple of cool NC caps.

Natty Greene (the only pic I could find without taking my own is earrings made from the caps.)




Lonerider. One of my personal favorites.

 

If you do that with a quarter or nickel on top of the cap, it comes off good as new.

 

I really liked Sierra Nevada Hoptimum's bottle cap:
