Bottle cap collector question

I've seen only one place that had them for sale in their swag shop at the brewery, but I've never heard of them being available online from any brewery. I think you're going to have to collect from other sources such as trading. You're in the right forum to get the word out, but also check out the Brewerania trading forum.

 

Most breweries will send some for free, if you pay for postage. Give 'em a call!
Mothergoose is correct about the trading part, although I've consumed the beer under more of my caps than ones I've traded for. But, to be fair, I've only traded a few times for the 5,000+ I have and live in a place that has always had plenty to choose from, even when I started almost 27 years ago (yikes) and the term "microbrew" was practically non-existent. A whole lot of my caps also came from folks who brohave brought them back to me from their travels around the world.
I collect caps and probably always will, I'm trying of getting rid of my doubles...thousands and thousands of 'em! I've given them away, traded 'em for beer, taps and of course, caps. If your collection needs a boost, let me know. Anything in particular you looking for?

 

I have seen a picture of your wall @SirBottlecap it's pretty awe-inspiring. I have only recently (in the last year +) begun saving/collecting my caps for a future project yet-to-be-named. I was thinking a sweet craft beer bottle-cap inlaid poker table or something. I have told myself I will only ever use a cap of something I drank myself, is that how you started as well?

 

Really looking for some caps from Oak Creek Brewing. Their caps have the Arizona state flag on them.[/QUOTE]
I know the one, but don't have an extra, sorry! Try giving them a call, tell them how you can't live without their beer and that you would like some of their caps. I'll bet they throw in a sticker or two as well! Keep me in mind if you have anything else you are looking for, especially from California.

 

I collected as a youngster (4th grade?) with a pal until my grandma threw them all out into our clutter-filled garage. Then in high school, that same friend and I were at our local dam and were looking at the cool art on caps we saw strewn about. We decided we were going to start again and I haven't looked back. As long as it comes from a beer, I'll take a cap I don't already have from any source...

 

I dig it man. Quite a project in the making then.

 

I didn't realize people collected bottle caps, but that makes sense. If anyone is looking for beers in the Carolinas, I save mine and would be happy to send any you need. It's not like shipping would be terribly exorbitant!

 

I have no idea what I need from the Carolinas, but I'm sure there are plenty! I'm certainly interested! I know I have some, but I'm know there are always new caps from everywhere. Is there anything you collect, beer-wise?

 

Yes, beer

Joking aside,it costs next to nothing for me to save these, or ship them. Shoot me a BM and I'll sift through what's currently in the jar.

 

Sure, just shoot be a BM. As I mentioned to @SirBottlecap, we save them anyways and won't cost much to ship.

 

Same here. NY here. Just BM me with what you need.

 

Me too. I have some Texas bottle caps if anyone is interested. St. Arnold, Rahr, Revolver, etc...
