    Is it just me, but does the second from the left in the middle row actually say "all natural spring water"?

    Yeah, it does. I just couldn't confirm if it was actually a spring water cap, or if it was a beer made with "all natural spring water." Most likely just a bottled water though.

    I believe the second one from the left in the middle row is a beer *Creemore Springs Premium Lager*, I am a "cap dork" and just got one two weeks ago.

    So I finally went thru all the caps I have - several buckets worth (it was a long winter!), sorted & organized them. Some go back to the '80's. Anyway, I have been very impressed on how quickly BA cap fans can identify the beers associated with a cap. Out of the hundreds of different caps that I went thru, I found 12 varieties that I can't positively identify. I have attached a photo, and was looking for some help. Some of them I think I might know - is the RR an old Rolling Rock? The 102 a Shiner? The Lion's Head an old Lion's Brewery cap from Wilkes-Barre? The Shamrock an early McSorley's? The Unicorn a older St George from Hampton? These are guesses, but I would appreciate any help from the BA experts.

    Wow! You are the MAN! Thanks so much! Yes, Finnegan's makes sense as I bought a six of that in Minnesota back in the mid 2000's. I forgot about Legend brewing in VA, at least I had the right state.

    3RD from left, top row: Shiner...first on left, 2nd row: Kalik from Bermuda...3rd cap, same row is from Latvia (more info later) ...4th cap, same row: Pilsner Urquell...1st one, 3rd row: Ram Rod, England...3rd cap, same row: also from UK (more info later) Check out "Bottlecap Index" online, it has a LOT, but I'm sure "jersumm" will be along any moment...

    Just saw that he beat me to it.
    Damn, he's quick! I didn't see that, but, I'm sorry , but I must contest #9! That is one beer I had at least a few of in the late '80s/early '90s. Definitely Ram Rod, U.K. (Young & Co.?)The "R" is very similar, I admit, but that was maybe one of the "biggest" beers around at the time (high school) here and it was it big deal if you could finish one without gagging (until we found out how great it was!) Anyway, it's way more fun to let BA's give you the answers than looking them up. Plus, why hunt when you can let BA's like him do the work? (insert little winkie-yellow-face here) Otherwise, thanks for the extra info, jersumm! (especially for clearing up the smeared info I have on my #4!)
