    Okay here goes.....
    Top right: dont know;
    Top left: Jem's Beer Factory, Israel;
    Middle: Negev Brewery, Israel;
    Bottom left: Carlsberg (the symbol is part of their logo);
    Bottom right: Israel Beer Breweries (Carlsberg), Israel. ...... and so if I was a betting man then I might wager that the top right cap also comes from Israel and that the bottom left (Carlsberg) cap also comes from Israel. Cheers, Andrew.

    You the man, Mr. Capper! l knew some of these came from Israel, but I wan't sure of what these were. These were all extras in a trade from Israel except the top left, which came from a local liquor store owner, so that is quite a coincidence. Any chance you mixed the two up?
    And I knew that Carlsberg symbol looked familiar!
    Thanks!

    Sorry, yes, I mixed up the two top caps. The 'face' cap is from Jem's Beer Factory, Israel. I found these caps on the Crowncaps.Info website database. I recognised the lettering for the yellow cap as being Hebrew, so I looked up Israel and was surprised to see the other 2 caps listed ... from Jem's and Negev, simple. The Carlsberg cap I recognised immediately as Carlsberg (UK) have just released the same design in the UK in green/white rather than gold/black. I've tried other searches on the picture caps but couldn't find the black/white cap (top left), sorry.

    I'm only 30 minutes from Sante Adarius and have never seen this one before and drank one with friends two weekends (but l now recognize the design), yet you are 3000 miles from SARA and knew this. Impressive! Thanks!

    Hello! Sorry to crash this thread, but I am hoping you all can help me with some beer info. I'm participating in a beer scavenger hunt and one of the lists of items we need to acquire is beer caps. However, most of them just say what's on the cap, not who the brewery is. Any chance you know which brewers have these two: a car, or a picture of a state? They're the last two that we can't figure out. Cheers!

    Hahaha...sometimes things just click by chance. I actually get a lot of SARA in trades so I know the cap well. They are another design that just says "Rustic" on it instead of that design.

    Texas breweries seem to like the state pic on them. St. Arnold is one of them. The car one stumps me, Good People Brewing has a car in the logo, but not sure about on the cap.

    There at least a few brewers in California (Moylan's, Marin, etc.) that use one that says "California Brewed" that has the state's shape.

    Will any cap do as long as it has a state or car on it?

    The Cable Car Brewing Co (City Brewery / Melanie Brewing Co, Wisconsin I think) has both the word 'car' and a picture of a cable car...any good? I don't know of any other US breweries with an automobile image. I do however know of a couple in Italy, Russia and Lithuania but these are probably not too useful to you.

    [​IMG] Hmmm...which state reeeeeally loves their image on caps? (Oops! Forgot New glarus!!)Also, I have nearly 2500 American caps-no cars! What gives??!! The Car Capital of the World, and no car caps!!! The closest I came was to Detroit Brewing caps from 20+ years ago that have olde time car wheels, but that's it!!

    Beau's Brewing has caps with a tractor. A farmer's car?

    This bothered me so much the whole day...I had to summon the knowledge of a local beer group and someone came up with Silvertooth Brewing Company. I can't find them online other than Untappd, but it looks like the story of the ordering custom cap indicates that it was a small brewery in 2011: http://forums.morebeer.com/viewtopic.php?f=27&t=39314 . Sorry, don't have time to research, but here's a photo.

    I guess there had to be one somewhere across the USA. Perhaps this is unique among US crowncaps. I'd sure like to have this in my collection.

    Me, too! If you are able to take care of AndyCapper and have a 2nd spare, I've got plenty in return!
