    Pretty fun and funny topic to base a tasting on. Can't say I've got much to add, but I get a kick out of the number of things people have already come up with.

    The Dissident has birds on a highline wire as its label, and it's a freakin' sweet label so it gets bonus points.

    Night Shift's logo is an owl.

    Central Waters has a heron on most of their beers.

    North Coast Le Merle
    anything Duck-Rabbit
    Captain Lawrence Brown Bird
    Coniston Bluebird
    anything in the Greene King hen series (or the Hen House 4 pack)

    ... but the best thing you could bring would be one of the bottles of Against The Grain's Kentucky Ryed Chiquen that had feathers glued to the bottle (assuming the "birder" wouldn't be offended) (Caution: I saw recent bottles of this without feathers).

    It's too late to ship (ya shoulda asked last week) but anything bottled from Black Raven Brewing. Also, all of Fremont Brewings bottles have a Heron on 'em.

    If you can get your hands on Anchorage, there are a couple of stellar brews that have owls on them:

    Darkest Hour
    Whiteout Wit (newest batch only--the old bottles didn't have any bird imagery)

    Also, aside from Black Xantus, Humboldt makes three others that have their hummingbird on the label:

    Red Nectar
    Nectar IPA
    500 BC Double IPA

    does a flying dog count as a bird?

    If I can find the Ryed Chiquen, I'm definitely getting it. Fantastic.

    Black Xantus also the first on my mind, also
    7 swans-a-swimming from the Bruery. If you can locate.
