So I have one of those wooden beer cap maps (awesome btw) hanging on my wall, and I can't for the life of me remember what breweries these two caps were from. Any help would be appreciated!

First stout and first high ABV beer. Looking for any feedback ... I have a lot going on so I'll explain my thought process. I'll label by percentage because I do atypical batch sizes. 45.5% American 2-row 18.2% Light dry extract (can't fit entire grain bill otherwise + helps with IBUs)...
