We have been compiling photos and graphics for our relaunch. In the 700+ photos there is a bottle cap we have been unable to identify. The worst part is that I took the photo and I can’t seem to find the cap or any indication of the brewery it belongs to.
If you recognize it please drop me a line at john@brewcast.net or reply in the comments section of this post. Thanks.
