Astra reminding you to beware of "Schlägertypen" or "thug types." I consider this one of the funnier beer ads I've seen, with an unusual streak of socioeconomic commentary (laudatory). (I explain a bit more in alt text)

Better Know a Beer Cap #83: Bud Select 55, a discontinued and now obsolete one-up on Miller 64. From that romantic, bygone stretch of the early 2000s where calorie conscious drinkers hadn't yet discovered Michelob Ultra, yet still thought Bud Light was just too dang viscous.

Better Know a Beer Cap #81-82: Johnny Appleseed hard cider, circa 2014. A wholly astroturfed Anheuser-Busch creation, a counter (I assume) to Angry Orchard. Looks like the brand was discontinued around 2017-2018. cc

Bottle cap for Peoples Beer, an Oshkosh, WI brewery bought by Theodore Mack in 1969, making it one of the country's first Black-owned breweries. Not my cap, just a rando internet photo, though I'm hoping to acquire one.

This is interesting, I didn't realize Carling's ramp-up of US production had happened in the 40s. I mainly know their ads from the 50s, and their laser focus on bougie dudes. (via Duke University)

Better Know a Beer Cap #79-80: two versions of Sam Adams' Winter Lager caps. On the left is an older (circa 2000s/early 2010s?) version, whole on the right is from their later (circa late 2010s/2020?) shield series. Which do you prefer?

Astra officially declares Arschkalt season open! "Arschkalt" translates to cold as, um...it means cold. (German followers, what temp do y'all typically agree counts as arschkalt?)

Better Know a Beer Cap #78: Goose Island Beer Co out of Chicago, circa 2019 maybe? The green beak tells me this was specific to Goose IPA? Seems like Goose has been debuting a few different caps lately. I haven't been able to get my hands on them all, though ☹️

Better Know a Beer Cap #77: Pike Brewing Co in Seattle, WA Their classic brand design (I'm not sure if the new post-2021 branding ever made it onto a cap). RIP the Pub & Museum.

Ad from 1969, pitching automatic beer dispensers for bars which eliminate waste by pouring pre-measured volumes. I don't know why need these newfangled contraptions! In my day the bartender picked up the tray and poured spillage into the next beer. And we got along fine. No grit today, I tell ya.

I should have seen this coming when Not Your Father's ran back to its classic branding and switched to blank bottle caps. The signs were all there.

Better Know a Beer Cap #73: Warsteiner Oktoberfest So far as I know, none of Munich's big six Oktoberfest brewers use a dedicated cap for (at least in the export market), so here's one that I'm sure *only* uses their Oktoberfest cap in the export market, since they'd probably be sued in Germany.
