Bad beer labels that deter you from buying?

LOL Alpha. This is a good example of average label=Average beer

 

I didn't think Bruer was that bad. It was exactly as it read, a hoppy barleywine. I thought the high abv came off nicely. Especially for $7 or whatever I paid for it

 

i stayed away from Olde Hickory for far too long because of their labels, but im glad i finally tried their beer, because they make fantastic beer.

 

The bottles are so, so bad. Awful. The can art is definitely a step in the right direction.

 

Backwoods Bastard, Curmudgeon, and Breakfast Stout aren't bad.

 

That shit looks pretty epic if you ask me.

 

Wild Onion has the worst label art I can think of.

that pumpkin looks like straight ClipArt.

 

Maybe I'm just weird, but I've never seen "terrible" label art. In fact, most of the worst beers I've had had awesome artwork.

 

Agreed... Big Sky Brewing has decent beer but their labels always seem to be in some form or another..."falling off"...looks cheap...also makes me think the beer is old? It isn't but that is my impression when I see the labels peeling off.

I also love several of Odell's brews but their paper label turns to trash melt when it gets wet or sweats...award winning beers with cool looking designs but I don't like what the labels are made of?

 

You must really HATE FFF...

This is seriously how it came. Double labeled and crooked. Some reason it still tasted good though!

 

The Drie Fonteinen label uses papyrus font and looks like crap in general. I can't imagine that deters many!

 

Surly beers look like straight up soda cans. Port Brewing has some goofy labels and Dark Horse is just a collage. Doesn't stop me though, they all contain magic.

 

I don't know, the simplicity of the Elder label kind of appeals to me for some reason. Maybe it comes across has humble or something.

 

I think alot of older craft beer drinker (those that started and have stayed with imports) perhaps stray away buying US craft beers because of the names and label art. Most just are not sophisticated enough and seem cheap or bad based on image.

 

I wouldn't say it deters me from buying. But I would say that good artwork draws me into buying. Haha.

 

We talked about this one in a post a few months ago. Got me laughing so hard the 1st time I figured to repeat. There is no more disturbing label art image than Weyerbacher's Merry Monks.

I really don't have to explain further.

 

I'm looking at you Dark Horse. Terrible (reeeeaaaaaallllly bad) art, good beer.
