    Thanks and bummer! I found the rhino cap on a walk the other day and thought "that hasn't happened in a while-it must be non-beer." At least the Green Man is beer-cool cap, too!

    Yellow cap is Mountaineer Brewing Co- They are out of business, they sold a ton of caps to homebrew stores, I used them to cap my homebrews.

    Pretty sure black cap w hop flower is 961 Beer (from Lebanon). Although that seems like a generic cap that multiple people could use.

    The Red Devil is La Trou Diable- http://www.troududiable.com/ looking forward to enjoying their beer again this summer at VT Brewers Fest.

    The matching top two in red and grey I've bought at a homebrew shop, but I'm not sure if its a defunct brewery.

    The two with volcanos are generic homebrew caps. Blue with palm trees is Seagram's Coolers. Gold "C" is Covington from Louisiana. Beer First cap is Great Lakes. "Black" cap is Molson. Lion/Eagle cap is Bravo International owned by Heineken in Russia. White with red plant is Brasserie de Saint-Omer (French cap). Red with barley is a beer from Great Britain, I believe.

    I didnt have anything from them that was good, I think Mountain state brewing bought them and still are operating.

    thanks, I thought that one would dog me for a while. Keep your eye out for another thread like this soon, I just found more UBC's (unidentified bottle cpas!)...

    On the contrary, they were the best selling and most widely distributed WV brewery playing until their demise.

    No, the two breweries never crossed paths, and have nothing to do with each other.
