My beer bottle cap collection

in #hive-1806584 months ago

By chance, I discovered this community today. What nice collections you all have. I a lot of fridge magnet collections. I often see fridge magnets in souvenir shops at tourist hotspots and wonder who buys them. But now I know, haha!
I also want to share my own collection with you. Don’t think that I’m an alcoholic. Yes, I do enjoy a beer every now and then, but it has taken me many years to build my collection.
As you might have noticed, I collect beer bottle caps!
Here is the majority of my collection: 238 different beer caps in a large picture frame that hangs in the kitchen. I think it’s very nice and colorful. They are all beers that I have personally drunk. Many of these caps come from beers that I bought and drank during holidays and trips. So, there are many fond memories behind the bottle caps in this frame.
I really like how creative some brewers are with the designs of their bottle caps. You’ll understand that I’m not a big fan of the trend of beer in cans.

The frame is now filled, and I am working on ‘collecting’ beer caps for my second frame. I have some more bottle caps in a cabinet where I keep my specialty beers in a dark place. Once I have enough to mostly fill the second frame, I will move them. But that will take some time since I ‘only’ have 49 more now and my collection grows slowly.

In total, I now have 287 different beer caps. I’m going on vacation again next week, so it’s time to try out the various local beers at my holiday destination. I wonder if there will be any nice caps among them.

Are there any other people who collect beer caps?

Do you recognize any of the beers?

I have my favorites, but which cap(s) from my collection do you like the most?

Feel free to ask anything about my collection in the comments!

Wow this is a very great collection! Thanks for sharing :)

Looks nice! I used to save bottle caps, but I didn't have enough to frame them and they were taking up space, so I threw them out. Oh well. Maybe I'll start saving again in the future!

Thanks! Now you know you need 238 for a large frame. But you can also put them in smaller frames.

You have a great collection, what beautiful designs they made these beer bottle caps, a lot of creativity and imagination hehe and each of these bottle caps has a story to tell.

These were my favorites because I love birds and I love sailboats ❤️🦉

Thanks! I like the ones with animals too. I have some bottle caps from the brand Lupulus which means wolf. And I like the ones with the gnomes too.
And did you spot the guillotine?

Did Buhito see the one with a little owl? the last bottle cap in the eighth row 🦉

OMG, I didn't see it, I missed it 😍🦉 I saw all the birds except the owl, I failed as an owl haha

Welcome to the Hive Collectors community, @friendlymoose 😇

So, you are not an alcoholic? Just a joke, I know you are not. Good collections need a lot of time to happen, so it was the case with your beer bottle cap collection too.

Are there any other people who collect beer caps?

I think there are very few people who collect them, we had this topic in April as the official monthly theme. Well, it was not just beer bottle caps but, bottle caps in general, and there were just a few entries 😅... but so cool you posted this collection, I hope you can inspire some other users to bring their collection too. Thank you ;)

I recoginise more than a few of these caps. I to vaguely collect beer bottlecaps, and I too only keep ones from beers that I've personally drunk. It is of course getting harder and harder as more beers end up in cans nowadays

Nice, another collector!
Where do you keep them?
I'm interested to see which ones you have collected.

What do you get if you cross a bullet and a tree with no leaves?
A cartridge in a bare tree.

Wow, this is great! I love how you've arranged it in a frame! I would tell you that I am collecting, that I have few, very few, but when I see your collection, I die of shame. 🤣

Don't be ashamed. Just continue collecting! In a healthy way that is :D
