I spent the summer of 1985 in Alaska drinking a inexpensive beer that had rebus puzzles under the bottle cap. I can't remember what kind of beer it was but it sure was fun solving the puzzles (and drinking the beer). I wonder what ever happened to all the bottle caps we saved ...

Hey Angie, I collected those bottlecaps when I was a kid. Was it Ballantine?
