    Old comic-sans era Weyerbacher. New labels look great.

    I agree with Hoppin' Frog. No idea if the beers are any good or not but the labels always looked to me like something out of junky coupon flyers you get in the mail. The label has always prevented me from trying their brews.

    There's also a humorous clash between the zombies and scary stuff with their (in many cases) bright-flavored and refreshing beer. I dig.

    It's sad that they've gotten slightly better and it looks like someone is actually learning how to use Photoshop. Sigh.

    I agree. LOVE their beer, hate their labels.

    I know many people will disagree with us, but I think their labels are really cheesy.

    Once they are able to ship you all with be graced with the hands down worst labels in the industry.

    Pipeworks. Period.

    i.e. Cash 4 Golden Ale

    Not to mention the worst website in the world.

    World class beer. Zero money spent on marketing/design

    Are you kidding? I love their labels! Part of a great label to me is the peak into the quirkiness of the brewers, as shown through the writing, not just the picture. Who is it, DFH I think, on their Palo Santo Marron, say "We have wood. Now you do too!" Classic!

    Dark Horse. I think their labels just look cheap as hell. It's totally superficial and I know I shouldn't judge a book by it's cover (especially since I'm sure there are more bad beers with awesome labels because it's a total marketing ploy that I'm a sucker for), but bad labels are one of the things that make me think twice about buying a beer I haven't tried before. In my mind, I think, "Well, if they couldn't bother with making a decent label, they probably didn't bother making good beer either."

    Again, totally superficial, I know, I'm a bad person.

    It doesn't look quite as bad in the large format here, but when it's on a tap handle etc and all you can see is a big square of hideous neon green... I realize there aren't as many coniferous trees in texas, but that is NOT a christmas green, fellas....

    Dammit I cant throw in the obligatory Weyerbacher anymore. The new labels are better, but arent great.
