    On the left, the "G w/barley" is a Genesee logo.

    Thanks jesskidden. I thought I’d try posting the clock one again even though it went unsolved last time.

    Post a pic of the cap in the Homebrewing forum and ask for suggestions about what it could mean. (I don't have a clue.) The 'question of the day' should get some interesting responses and provide entertainment. :wink:

    Often, those caps are from a brewery that closed, or a startup that never opened, or even changed direction and went with canning instead. So home brewing wholesalers buy them up on the cheap.
    So it may have "almost been from a brewery". Still not satisfying, but the design is probably not as random as it seems.

    It's very close to a logo that Desperate Times in Carlisle, PA uses. There's an added "T" but that appears to be the only difference. I couldn't find an example of it though, and I have no idea if there's any connection.

    I think you're on to something. I can't link to Facebook at work, but there is a post on their page from June 2016 with that printed on the bottom of a can koozie, with the T at the 5 o'clock. Maybe these were misprints of that and then took the route to home-brew suppliers.

    Hi all - Wondering if anyone could assist me in identifying these caps? I think each pair may be from the same brewery, but I could be wrong. Would greatly appreciate it if anyone has any idea! Thank you!

    To get your image to show, you need to use a hosting site like imgur. Use the direct link option. Copy it. Then, using the little picture icon paste it on to the pop up text box.

    Giving this a second try - if you can see the photo, I am having a hard time identifying the following caps. Hoping someone could assist me! Thank you all. [​IMG]
