    On a related note, some brewery should collaborate with Boris Vallejo and bring beer nerds and D&D/sci-fi nerds together!

    Pennsylvania brewers in particular... the guy lives in Allentown afterall...

    haha, nice! However, a beer label with Vallejo's art would take it to another level... D20 x 2

    I steer clear of "nasty edgy" because it turns me off and its not my thing.
    Of course that is me and my opinion and Opinions are like Assholes, everyone has one.

    Not risque - just cheeky. And I definitely bought a can of this just for the label. Turns out it's not half bad.

    I know these guys well and trust me in knowing there is nothing disrespectful or demeaning in this packaging. She's a beautiful brown beer!

    Its a tough balance. You want it risque enough to attract attention and sell beer but not so risque that store owners won't put it on their shelves or in their coolers. And if it is too cute, the people you are trying to attract will ignore it.

    This! When I was a kid in the late 70's I collected beer cans as many kids did then. My dad would take me to the store and I would pick the cans I wanted. He would drink them, opened from the bottom of course and give them back to me. It was great! I still love a great looking/original can but I really just buy for what's inside these days.

    White people don't get to decide what is or isn't offensive to non-white people. I certainly doubt the makers meant any harm with this label but it kind of sexualizes black women. Then again, I'm also white so I could be totally off base.
