Here's a place that will do smaller runs. It looks like he's not silk screening, but rather putting on a printed label and then sealing them somehow. I'm ordering 10 caps from him now (with the linux penguin) just to see what the quality looks like.

I'd be up for some as well.
Would the Hop Grenade be consisdered "identifying markings" on the cap when entering in competitions? Either way, it would be cool!

Yup, that was just what I was going to say. If you entered it into a comp, you would have to obliterate it with a black sharpie, or put a black round label over it.

I still think it is a fantastic idea! Talk about brand awareness! We should put the dub-dub-dub.brewingnetwork.com on it, also, to drive people to the site.

What would be too slick would be to put BN quotes underneath - like "Freakin' Out", etc. - but prolly too expensive.

Although I love the idea, the only time I bottle is for competitions. Cant use those types of caps. Would have to use a marker and cross them out

I would purchase some as well, I mostly keg, but they would be awesome to send to fellow BN'ers and non members as well.
The shifter in my truck has a perfect circle in it that fits a bottle cap just right, and I need a new one, TBN cap would be perfect. for some reason they took my last one off while at the shop.

My only concern would be that I usually only bottle for competitions and I'm pretty sure we'd end up having to black them out anyway.

That being said ... I'll sign up for some too.

I'm in the same boat as some of the others. 99% of what I bottle is for competitions so they wouldn't do me a whole lot of good. Still, I would buy a pound of them to have around.
