I am going to make an Atlanta Braves A out of blue, white, and red caps. Any suggestions on what to use for each one? I have thought about the following: Blue- Sam Adams, Flying Dog, possibly Sweetwater Red- Sierra Nevada Celebration, ? White- I know Coors and a few other macros have silver caps.. Any suggestions are appreciated!
Sierra Nevada Bigfoot is white/blue. Anchor California Lager, Libery and Our Special Ale are Red. Anchor Steam is Blue. If you want pure color you could always just buy bottle caps in bulk which would be cheaper than buying all that beer. (not sure on when you planned to finish this or how big it would be.) http://www.bottlecapco.com/bottlecapstandard.html
For red caps, Yazoo would be a great choice. It's a good red with minimal white lettering. I've got a few new ones if you need them. White: Lefthand, Atwater, Acme, Bells (White Winter Ale), Bigfoot (expensive!) Blue: Buy caps in bulk on eBay, Bud Light would be easy to get. Will look odd with actual good beer, but its an option. Sweetwater is a good choice, especially since they are in ATL. Shoot, they might let you buy 100 caps from them for cheap.
I'm not trying to finish it in any specific amount of time, but I am going to use actual caps. I feel it would be more authentic. I also had that idea of buying plain caps and went against it. Thank you for your ideas!
I haven't really thought that far ahead. I definitely want it to be noticeable. Since this is my first project I'm open to suggestions. I was thinking around the size of an average clock you would hang on your wall.
Are you using only craft beers and excluding caps from Bud, Miller, Coors? I can send you a bunch of Bud (red), Bud Light (blue) and Coors (silver). Re: your project - I think you'll have to size it at least a 3' by 3' to allow the scale size of a cap to give you some straight line definition. If you're making a clock then you can always make a large logo but keep a smaller area in a corner for the clock face.
I'll probably use mostly craft beer tops. My roommate drinks coors so I may experiment and see if silver would work instead of white. I attached a URL that has a picture of the logo I am going to recreate. http://vintageoldschoolsnapbackcap.blogspot.com/2011/12/check-out-mlb-atlanta-braves-royal.html?m=1
I have a TON of red and blue Anchor caps, Sierra Nevadas, Lagunitas, New Belgium, etc. and a bunch of white Speakeasy and North Coast caps, etc., too, if you need some. Will trade for beer, more caps, openers...whatever! I NEED TO GET RID OF THEM!!!
