    Unfortunately, the beer is long gone and I don't have a bottle cap. Looked for one on-line but didn't find it. So until I make it to the market to pick up a six-pack, the label will have to do...hope this is OK.
    Strange as it may sound, Mike, I too had been thinking about labels as well.
    You and anyone else are welcome to post their beer bottle labels here.
    Even though I started off with a bottle top!

    I have had a look on the net, but, cannot find a bottle top to go with that label.
    However, I did find something that might be to do with Hopvalley, and be a bottle top.

    That's a goo done, Roly.

    The text at the top looks a bit skewed, rather than going round a curve?
    Was that deliberate?

    Well, the good news is my wife brought home some beer (I cannot drive yet...). Bad news is she bought a different brand. Gotta get her to take me to the store!

    I recently installed a new drive (larger and faster) and all my other labels are on the former drive. If I can pull them off later I'll see about posting some.

    Well, I don't feel bad about posting mine then, Mike.
    I hope it isn't the one you were going to draw?!

    EDIT: After Mike showed that the bottle top is actually green. I thought I'd post another quick one here!

    Hey, no worries!

    But yeah, I had found that or a similar one a little while ago as well. But I'll still go to the store...

    Nice one, Mike.

    Never having seen one, I didn't know that the bottle top itself is green.

    Yours looks great.

    Thanks, Rik.

    I have no idea if it really is green. And as they say about the first thing to go...what was it they say?

    I'm pretty sure the design we ran across is the generic bottle cap for the company, though if I do recall they do change the color of the field and probably the text. But I dunno until I make it to the store. It bugs me enough that if I could walk to the small corner market, I would.

    Edit to add...Whomever is designing their stuff use a lot of Google fonts in their work. Perhaps half of any particular design are using paid for fonts, but there is a smattering of Google fonts on most (and/or free for commercial use older fonts). The font on this bottle cap, for instance, is Microgramma EF Extended (a paid for font), though they lowered the two lowercase L characters to fit the design. Their script font on the label is Pacifico (Google Fonts).
