Found a website that does custom bottlecaps very reasonably. You don't have to order thousands either. http://www.bottlemark.com

Those look awesome! I believe that's the same site that Inkleg uses for his caps. I'm definitely wanting to have some made.

Very cool and reasonable. Might just have to buy some.

Nice, but they seem to be 4x the cost of regular caps?

I would use them for special occasions or if I'm gifting beer to someone. For regular use, just easier to buy a bag of 100 plain for a couple bucks.

Definitely more expensive than just going to the local store and picking up some but like phil said, gifts, special occasions. They did a great job.

Very nice looking caps Jimmy.

Yep, but regular caps aren't custom, look kinda bland as a fridge magnet and people look at you strange when you give them one. :lol:

If I remember it was less than 20$ shipped for 60 Naked Cat Brewery and 60 Christmas Kitty-T caps. It has been one of the better beer related purchases I've made. It's one of those splurge items that doesn't make your beer taste better, but it sure makes people smile. At the end of the day, that's what matters.
And Don Morse aka rattlesnake can turn them into some kickass fish lures.
I'll be ordering more shortly and my avatar picture will go on 60 this time. :clink:

Hey that's a great price, I was using http://www.wildhopsprintshop.com/ and they wanted $20 for 52, or 38 cents each. Thanks for the link.

Nice! I would do something similar but I'm slowly amassing a collection of swing top bottles.

They look nice! I don't think the price is out of line for what you are getting. Those fortunate enough to be gifted a brew with those on them will smile.
