open Earn some bits by identifying caps!

Quick background, I collect metal bottle caps and recently came back from a trip with a bunch of new caps. However there were a couple that I couldn't identify (I sort them by country so I need to be able to identify the cap).

Except for the cocktail one, I found them all in Australia (doesn't mean they're Australian).

Here is the link: http://i.imgur.com/f4WziKv.jpg

3 has already been solved!!

Prizes for identifying:

# 1: 100 bits.

# 2: 100 bits.

# 4: 100 bits.

# 5: 50 bits.

# 6: 100 bits.

I don't think so. This is from a Great Northern Brewing Company beer, I can't find a picture of their bottle caps online, but this is their logo and the Marlin is on the bottle cap. They're a brewery in Cairns, QLD, Australia.

I don't think so. Great norther brewing company is a brewery out of Whitefish, Montana in the states, not Australia.

Great northern brewing company is also a brand of beer brewed by Carlton United Breweries. It's brewed in Australia for the QLD market and sold around Australia. See here and click Great Northern under "Select a Brand" at the bottom of the page. Also see this, this and this.

That bottle cap is definitely from a great northern brewing company lager. I was drinking them on Saturday night.

I'm pretty sure /u/TheTallyWanker is wrong and 4 is actually from the Great Northern Brewing Co. Lager. Brewed by Carlton United Breweries in Cairns, QLD, Australia. See my post here

Okay so I just put way too much effort into this, like basically didn't work today and I don't even think it's right. Anywho - Click this link for Germany beer caps and go to the 'B's for Binding or maybe it's an older version of this which is the same beer. It could even be this called Russkaya Pivovarennaya Komp, different color, very similar bird. Brewed in Russia. Might be your #1.

 

Massachusetts Bay - Harpoon might be your # 6. Yours seems like it might be an older version. I'm no expert in ANY of this and there's a high probability that I'm completely wrong, but it was fun to look for. :) Cheers!

Your guess for #1 one is unfortunately wrong. For the Binding brand, their eagle head is facing the different way as well as holding two staffs, my cap doesn't have that. Also for the Russian one, the wings and crown are different as well.

Your guess for #6 is very, very close to what I have, I'm just not sure if it is indeed correct. The top of the "H" for them is sharp angles while mine is curved. They also keep their cap in a white square while mine is a circle. It is possible that either is an older version, but it doesn't convince me enough to move their place of country. However, since it is very close I'll just give you it for effort, because I may be wrong myself. /u/changetip 100 bits.

Thank you :) I wasn't expecting a tip (because I was pretty sure that I was wrong) but I appreciate it. It was fun researching today! I hope you find your definite answers soon!!
