Josh McCormick began a never-ending quest of amassing beer crown caps in '07.

 

Beer is great! Collecting creative, artistic crown caps helps me to chronicle my journey through life. I will integrate the caps in to an architectural installation at a bar once I have accumulated a few thousand. But for now, I need your help!

 

Here, and there. Anywhere.

 

ONLY unique beer and cider bottle crown caps. No blanks or "Mike's Hard" etc.
If you have found something I am missing, I would greatly appreciate your assistance adding to my collection. See instructions below for handling and contact info.

 

If you are interested in trading: Due to space constraints, I keep few extra caps on-hand; but there are a few local brews that I am willing to get for you! (Depends on where I am living.)

Safe Crown Cap Opening and Handling Instructions: (to prevent bends and scratches)

 

( images coming soon! )

 

1) Do not use a regular bottle opener the way it was designed! (the top gets bent and looks bad.)

 

2) Using your drinking hand, firmly grip the top of the beer around the neck.

 

3) Hold an upside-down Bic-style lighter (or similarly-shaped hard object) in the other hand.

 

4) Wedge the solid object (lighter) between the edge of the cap and forefingers to create a fulcrum.

 

5) With the heel of the hand, apply downward pressure to the opposite side of the crown cap.

 

6) Pivoting down on the object pulls up and outward on the teeth of the cap, causing it to loosen.

 

7) It may take more than one motion if the teeth don't bend as a group.

 

8) Wrap it in a napkin and put it in a pocket that doesn't have keys or metal objects.

 

9) Salud! Salute! Cheers! Cherefe! Kanpai! Prost! Bottoms up!

 

10) Contact me to donate / trade caps! (or - start your own collection!)
