    Hello!! I just joined Beer Advocate with the hope of finding some beers with insect (especially bees) bottle caps. If anyone has any to sell or trade, I’m open to that (but didn’t want to double post in the trade forum, unless that’s okay to do?). But I was mainly hoping for suggestions on what beers I should try and go find myself, since the scavenger hunt aspect (and consumption!) is part of the fun! :slight_smile:
    Thanks!

    Are you interested in the cap if it comes off a mead bottle instead of beer? I'm pretty sure that B. Nektar from here in Michigan distributes out of state (although I don't know if to Illinois), so you could look for those bottles if you don't already have that one in your collection. The black cap has a silver bee on it.

    Also in Michigan is St. Ambrose Meadery in northern Michigan. They bottle and distribute their meads, but I don't know if these get any farther than the state line. They also brew beer but I don't recall if it is bottled or distributed. The cap on the mead bottles is a line-drawn yellow bee on a black cap that also has three yellow lines around the crimps.

    P.S. It's okay to post here to find interested traders as well as posting in the Brewerania trading forum, but it is frowned on by BA to negotiate trades in any forums other than in the trading forums.

    The old Thomas Kemper Soda Company had a bee on the crown.

    I can’t remember who makes this one but I think it is from the UK, at least I got it in trade from a collector over there.

    This cap is a contemporary UK beer cap and used on bottles produced by Brakspear & Sons Ltd (now owned by Marstons plc, UK)

    From the man himself!!

    I need to send you a message. I likely have a lot to trade with you on hand.

    Cheers.
