    I can't remember what Brewery it's for some reason I think it's from a WI brewery...I could be absolutely wrong.

    If any other tickers out there are having trouble ID'ing their inventory, feel free to post'em

    I'm trying to figure out what three caps are.

    1. J with red stripes behind it.
    2. A circle with a hop cone at the top and a star at the bottom. On the left and right side it looks like wheat and inside the circle looks like a shovel and a hoe?
    3. A gold star with a red background.

    #3 might be Starr Hill Brewing. http://www.starrhill.com/

    I suppose that would be obvious, wouldn't it? Maybe Lone Star?

    And just FYI, the items inside the circle are not a shovel and hoe. They are the heads of a mash paddle and a stirring paddle.

    [​IMG] This is one that has been the source of much debate over the years and people are divided on what this cap came off of. Some people swear that it was an Anheuser Busch short-lived product (i.e. blue horizon, sun dog, pacific ridge) others swear that it was off a Hawaiian beer. I'm going with it was an Anheuser Busch beer with a Hawaiian theme. If anybody knows about this cap, I'd be hella interested to know what it is as I have one too.

    I have it and don't know what it is, either, but I don't think it is A-B. The one I have was definitely not a twist-off, like most A-B and says "Pure Seal" on the side, also not like A-B. I'm 99% sure I got this from a beer at The Great American Beer Festival in 2004. For some reason, I love A-B caps and if this was, it would have burned into my memory, not unlike the taste of their "beer".

    My wife and I went to Colorado recently and bought a mix of six at Tipsy's Liquor World. I've been collecting caps for about 4 years now and always keep a log of what breweries I have. Well this time I failed to write down what I bought and I'm now left with the cap shown below (sorry the pic is enormous) and cannot, for the life of me, find what brewery it goes to. It could be a CO brewery but could also be a neighboring state as we didn't buy all CO beers. Is there anyone who might be familiar with this one?
    Greatly appreciate it!
