I had just finalized a trade with someone in Spain when I get a paper bag donation from Richard, our old neighbor’s father. I’m a bit unenthused as the last two boxes of hundreds of bottle caps from him were mostly domestic beers (Budweiser, Miller Lite, Samuel Adams) but this bag is the mother lode: About 250 bottle caps, of which about 75 or so I don’t have, all in pretty fine condition.

The bunch runs the gamut of domestic beverages, the majority microbrewed beers from the past decade. My personal favorites are one from Kona Brewing, and another a Stewart’s Cream Ale.

There are several that are a bit mysterious, one being a Jefferson State bottle cap that I think refers to an older brewery (now out of business) that was based in Crescent City. Jefferson State seems to be some third state that would have been made of far northern California and a few southern Oregon counties if it had ever happened. Crazy that I learn a bit of history from an old bottle cap.

Anyhow, all these bottle caps and many more will be showing up at Bottle Cap-O-Rama in the weeks to come.
