    All of the usual suspects get mentioned in these threads, but I saw a terrible one a bit ago that does no favors to a good brewery:

    I think Justin Blabaer is pretty cringe worthy.

    Modern Romance looks like the cover for some terrible early 90 's movie set in Seattle.

    Any name that includes a reference to an animal's body fluid really puts me off (Big Sky Moose Drool, Tallgrass Buffalo Sweat, etc.) but the beer's okay. Associating sweat with beer is really unappealing to me.

    This makes me think of one of my father-in-laws home brews; Skidmark Brown Ale...He of course meant it as skidmarks from a car.
    I told him I was not on board with the name, but the beer was damn good. Never felt right drinking it though. I told him if he repackaged it with a pair of tidy-whities on the front and marketed it to the college crowd he'd probably make a fortune...

    As for beer that more than just my inner-circle has tried, I'd say the Wisconsin Brewing Company has some of the blandest packaging out there, and I don't like that their beer doesn't have names. You can get away with that if your beer is outstanding, but theirs is not.

    Ugh its similar to Green Flashes. What makes them think BIG BOLD lettering and just different label colors is a great idea?

    Wasn't that the cover for the last Cranberrie's record?

    I do not care for any of the art that flying dog does. Some may really enjoy it but it does nothing for me.

    Local Brewery in Des Moines (515 Brewing) has a DIPA called Hopititis-C. The beer is fantastic but the name just scares me a little.

    I just think the labels look too scatterbrained and I can't easily see what's going on. I guess I really love simple labels like Ballast Point's stuff.

    It was brewed at Paper City but it wasn't a paper city beer. I cant find it on here either.

    To each their own. I am not a fan of flying dog beers really at all myself, but only becuase of whats in the bottle. Im just biased to the labels because I love the work that he did with Hunter Thompson.

    The brewery name, Butternuts, combined with the labels which look like they were created with shitty clip art on MS Word pretty much guarantee I will never purchase their beer.

    I have a problem with Boulder Beer Co's font, color schemes, and design in general, and I've never bought anything from them.
