Bottle Caps needed

Welcome to the BA site, mds169. You're in the right forum to get started, but some members may want to create a trade in the Brewerania trading forum.

Do you want these caps to be mostly white since they will represent the flag's stars? I'll try to help you out using my duplicates for nothing in return, but I don't know how many I'd be able to give you if white is a requirement.

 

Okay, I'll have to match my extra caps to state locations where I don't recall that info, and then I will let you know what I can give you. Do you have a deadline?

 

I just sent out a bunch of caps to someone but have 20 or 30 you are more than welcome to have. Shoot me a BM with your shipping info and I will get them out probably right after Christmas.

 

I can help with caps from 10 states:
CA (or NC) - Sierra Nevada (Narwhal brand graphic)
CO - New Belgium
DE - Dominion
IL- Goose Island (Bourbon County brand graphic)
IN - Three Floyds
MD - Flying Dog
MI - Bell's
OH - Fat Heads
PA - Weyerbacher
VA - Devils Backbone

Pick and choose if you want to since Goose Island and Sierra Nevada are not the classic logo designs of these two breweries, or take all of them. Send me a PM with your address and I'll get them mailed soon.

 

Below is what I have got multiples of some of these and will have more before I ship after Christmas if you are interested. Not all of these are US you can trash what you do not want.

 

Add in Deschutes for Oregon too (I added to list above).

 

Which states do you still need after the above? Would welcome an excuse to dive through my duplicates.

 

second this, just post states you need can dig through my bucket

 

Hi mds169--it sounds like an awesome project.

Just for your reference, I attempted to collect beer caps from all 50 states a couple years ago and though most states have caps readily available, as of a year ago the states of North Dakota, South Dakota and West Virginia seemingly did not have any beers which had bottle caps with graphics in production (their craft brews all come in cans). I was able to track down an older cap for both West Virginia (circa 2010) and North Dakota (1960s era) but was never able to get a cap for South Dakota. You can find more information about my quest in this Breweriana forum post here: https://www.beeradvocate.com/commun...virginia-north-dakota-or-south-dakota.542185/.

Also, I likely have some caps I can send once you figure out what you still need--just let me know. Good luck!

 

I suppose you could always put a blank cap or some sort of placeholder (such as a double from a nearby state) for any states you can't find. The other 47 states I didn't mention should have caps readily available anyway.

 

I will have to do a little checking around the house, but I'm pretty sure I have the following doubles left over from my previous state cap collection which I could arrange to send you if you'll spot me for postage or a beer or something:

Alabama - Back Forty
Alaska - Alaskan
Arkansas - Diamond Bear
Califorinia - Sierra Nevada; Anchor
Florida - Cigar City
Georgia - SweetWater
Hawaii - Kona
Illinois - Goose Island
Louisiana - Abita; Bayou Teche
Maryland - Flying Dog
Massachusetts - Samuel Adams
Mississippi - Lazy Magnolia
Montana - Big Sky
Nevada - Great Basin
New York - Brooklyn
North Carolina - Highland
Ohio - Great Lakes
Oklahoma - Prairie; Choc
Pennsylvania - Rolling Rock; Yuengling
Texas - Shiner; Lone Star
Utah - Wasatch
Virginia - Devil's Backbone
Washington - Redhook
Wisconsin - Leinenkugels

I think there are a few repeats from what others mentioned above, but I was just going through the 50 states and naming what I've got. Some extras from other states may turn up as well once I gather everything together. Just let me know and I'll send them--cheers!

P.S. For your reference, for anything you can't get here, thebottlecapman.com is a good place to get some otherwise hard-to-find states for a dollar or two per cap typically. I found a few others on eBay. Also www.seekabrew.com/distro/index.html can give you an idea of what beers you should be able to buy in which state. This and what others have mentioned should give you a good start.

 

I would gladly send you an Arkansas cap but It looks like the others have Arkansas covered. Looking forward to seeing you finished project.

 

@mds169 These 10 caps above plus the Deschutes cap for Oregon are on the way to you. I'll send you a tracking number via PM later.

 

Cool project. Good luck, and please do share a photograph of it done, or near done.
