    I am a graphic designer. Yes I judge things by the cover but not exactly craft beer. I love packaging design and I have studied beer packaging over the years. What is your favorite packaging? Post a photo if you can. Mine is Great Divide Brewing Company. The names of the beers and packaging are colorful and fun!

    I really dig the simple elegance of Goose Island's Vintage and Bourbon County lines.

    Ommegang has wowed me with their new labels, but I also like the cute fish on Ballast Point. Dorado, Sea Monster and Victory at Sea are all great looking labels also.

    Firestone walker, specifically mentioning because of the 4 pack design of double jack.

    on a flat out true design front; it is Great divide easily.. Ommegang coming in second. On an artistic, one of a kind type of label, I would vote for Pretty things or Jolly Pumpkin.

    I just realized how close in concept the Great Divide and Ommegang labels are.
