Beers and Breweries with Bad Looking Labels

Horseheads Brewing out of the Finger Lakes area. Looks like a middle school graphics design beginner's class.

 

Nope, I'm happy to stay. I like coming here to read and mull over what people have written on the off chance my viewpoint might be influenced and changed. Can't do that if I excuse myself.

 

Now that's awful! Nice call.

 

Well, you are also welcome to stay. Cheers.

 

very true

 

Spiteful Brewing. I'll probably try your beer someday, but your labels make me want to avoid you for a loooong time.

 

I like most of your labels and most of the half a dozen of your beers I've tried. Standard Issue IPA doesn't make me want to buy the beer based on the name and the label. Same goes for Cash for Gold. I'll try them anyway because names and labels don't add much to the flavor.

 

Middle Ages has some really poorly designed labels and DFH's are just boring.

 

Worst? Summit. Best? Odell.

 

I like beer, not labels. I've never based a purchase on label alone. If I like the beer, the label is irrelevant and will still end up in my bottle collection.

 

Flying Dog

I totally disagree with you!!

 

I don't really like Sierra Nevada's labels either. Maybe it's because every time I see them they remind me of Saranac, and Saranac is pretty mediocre. I'm not a fan of the whole nature thing either has going on.

 

New Glarus. Looks like something a brewery bottling out of a garage would produce.

 

alright! Now we're talking! Brad and Jason can GFT's >=)

 

I love those personally ^

 

Didn't want to start a new thread, but I came across some GREAT labels today: Elysian (Beers of the Apocalypse). No idea how their beers are though..

 

Charles Burns is indeed great.

 

I happen to like the beers with comic book style labels, like Flying Dog, Three Floyds, and Clown Shoes. Bell's is pretty basic but not bad, and the new Weyerbacher labels are OK too.

 

If you haven't already, check out the Elysian Apocalypse beers. Ex:

 

Sick! I love Elysian's labels too!
