    As long as it's not "cute" and has actual edge, I'm game.

    I don't think any of these labels are even close to risqué, they are pretty awesome actually. I think Skookum Brewery - Ambers Hot Friend is nice :slight_smile: and Stillwater Artisanal - of Love & Regret made me lol IRL. OP, I think as long as there isn't any full frontal or extreme derogatory (specifically ethnic) language you are safe.

    Ask Middle Ages about their Wailing Wench ale and Double Wench Ale.

    Fly Dog doesn't have risque labels persay, but their names certainly questionable (In-Heat Wheat, Raging Bitch, Doggie-Style, Pearl Necklace). I think they do it on purpose to free publicity when some local conservative makes a big deal about it.

    Tyranena has some risque beer names, but not necessarily art work (sheep shagger, carnal knowledge in the wood, shaggin in the wood, bend over a barrel etc).

    I have to say that at 41 I may not be the target audience, but I am a fan of Flying Dog's beers and label art. As the father of a 7 and 3 year old I won't keep Doggie-style or Raging Bitch in the house though. Leads to too many unwanted questions.

    Flying Dog's labels are targeted to you (and older). The artist is Ralph Steadman, who did a lot of work with Hunter S. Thompson.

    I wish I could have tried one. The stale pale ale with the foam on the bottom.

    I never got to drink one. Had a friend that used to collect full cans and he had the whole collection.

    They certainly are no stranger to the risque label:

    Although this one at least has some has some cultural context with Manneken Pis in Brussels.

    Only once, and it was a graduation or birthday gift or something and I didn't know what kind of beer the guy liked. I think it was called Wailing Wench or something like that.

    Wish US breweries would make labels like that. Boobs and beer, sounds like a great pairing to me.

    not really "risque" but more like offensive, coming from what i can only assume are a bunch of white guys:
