    This thread makes me wonder if I've ever bothered to even look at a cap while opening.

    Edit: Just checked the garbage. Found a gargoyle and a pair of short pants. Well, at least now I know.

    Not sure about the cap ( didn't look, not sure if they are different), but had a Grapefruit Sculpin last week that was a just a regular... Oh well, it was fresh and delicious.

    So, is this question asking how many of us have been scammed, a la the KBBS refilling scandal?

    I just noticed the cap from my beer was missing, and so was the beer.

    Only legit example I can think of is the Westvleteren caps on the Westmalle bottles.

    A buddy of mine bought a bottle of 'Black Tuesday' from Craigslist (it gets worse) never had a bottle so he didn't really know what to expect, but when I saw it I told him something was off.. The wax was not as elegant as it usually doesn't on a 'Black Tuesday' bottle or anything bottle waxed from the Bruery. We opened it and the contents were not Black Tuesday.. Maybe Guinness or some really shitty stout. There was a lot of head, and the nose did not smell anything. Like what I remeber having. I didn't drink it and I adviced him to do the same.

    I've had upsidedown labels before, but I never bother to look at the cap. The cap is merely a barrier betwixt me and my beer.

    I got plain, black caps on a trade for a sixer of Zombie Dust. I freaked out because FFF has their signature caps on most things, including Zombie Dust. I e-mailed FFF and got a response very quickly. They ran out of caps and was ready to bottle that day. The caps showed up as they finished bottling. The person that e-mailed me apologized for them having to resort to that and they were sorry for the confusion it has caused everyone.

    Not that I recall, but I have a serious lack of attention to detail when I'm knocking back a few beers:slight_smile:

    That was quite the read. Didn't get much work done that day!

    I bought a case of Good Vibes and it had one red cap. All the rest were yellow. For some reason I saved that beer until last. A friend of mine happened to be interviewing the owner of VooDoo a few weeks later and I told him about the red cap(thinking I may have won a Golden Ticket!). The owner of VooDoo just laughed and said the red cap was probably just a leftover from the previous beer run.

    I believe maine beer co posted a shot of a bottle they found on the line that had a three floyds cap. They said it must have been a loaner that mad it in the bag from the cap company.

    Can't say I have ever had a beer with the wrong cap. The odd upside down label, double label, half label, but most of those were a long time ago.
