    Hello BA community,
    I am trying to get a project started and need a little help. I would like to make a beer cap clock for the man cave and I am looking to do it with bottle caps numbered 1 through 12. Does anyone know if it's possible to get bottle caps with large numbers from different breweries? Here's some of the one's I have so far. I would like to get all 12 from different breweries. Any input would be great!

    12 - Westvleteren 12 (The 12 is small but would look nice up at the top)
    8 - St Bernardus Prior 8
    10 - Rochefort 10 (They also have 6 and 8 but 10 is my favorite)

    Also, the company Baltica has a ton but I would only like to use one of them.

    If anyone knows any other caps with numbers on them, please let me know. Thanks!

    3 Brothers Brewing here in VA has this on their bottlecaps:

    You may want to try looking at a list of breweries and seeing if their logo looks like something you'd want to use. I'd wager that a fair amount of those logos are the on the bottlecaps. I just looked at this one and saw a few logos from numerically named breweries that could be cool: http://www.bcca.com/services/brewery_listing.asp

    You could go a little abstract and use Left Hand for the 5

    I'm trying to picture the Tank 7 cap too but I can't remember if it's numbered.

    Baltika has numbers 1-9 on their caps including zero for the non-alcohol so you'd be all set with those.

    Victory caps could double as a Roman '5':

    Great idea, but there isn't a 7 on the Tank 7 cap, unfortunately. It's just the standard smokestack series cap.

    Real Ale has one with a 4 on it:

    Victory could also be used as 5 (although I like the Left Hand idea):

    Also, St. Bernardus has a new(?) one out..."Extra 4". Also Schneider Weiss has many numbered caps now, but the numbers are small.

    So does D'extra. I'm pretty sure it's used on all the "extreme" limited releases they do.

    Your idea is better but could also paint numbers on blanks caps if there are any numbers you end up missing.
