    They were so much more pleasing to the eye than the 2015 ones. I collect and display bottles and it is ridiculous how much better those old labels look then the crap GI put out last year. Clearly it was a cost saving measure, right? Does anyone have any insight as to why they abandoned labels altogether? Maybe that's how they could afford to provide all of those refunds.

    I personally like the old bottles/labels more, but as long as they can continue making the high-quality beer inside the new bottles, such as BCBCS and BCBBW, then... oh wait.

    The newer bottles definitely look pretty but I do miss the classic labeling of the 12 oz bottles. Plus I prefer a 12oz pour rather than a 500ml serving

    Miss the 12oz serving, the 500ml bottle is nice IMO.

    I like the new bottles. Very classy imo and the 500ml size is fine with me.

    Either bottle design is fine. I do like the smaller serving size. That little extra beer makes a big difference at 14%.

    Yes, the new bottles are un attractive and the serving size too large for a weeknight. The old labels really popped in my opinion. The new packaging well whoever approved that should lose there job. What a cute little tab label on the bottle neck. Please just make us some un infected beer. Can you tell it's been seven weeks and still no refund or shirt.

    I personally think the newer labels look better. The old ones are pretty cool looking as well, though. :slight_smile:

    For all I care they could put BCBS in those little bags that you win at the county fair with a goldfish in it. I'm still going to consume it...

    Yes and No. I think the new bottles look pretty sweet, but the size (oz) is not as practical to enjoy solo, unless I feel like getting wrecked and making bad decisions :grinning:
