    While we are all lamenting the end of Anchor Brewing's classic packaging, I thought we could share some side by sides with some of our least favorite packaging makeovers. I suppose this has been done before, but what better time than now to revisit the topic.

    I like this idea...I randomly thought about how much I used to love this beer and label the other day.

    Out of all these the Anchor brewing makeover is the most sickening:slight_frown: The original package is one of my most memorable labels of micro/craft beers I enjoyed back in the day.

    Agreed the anchor wins for being the worst. But great lakes pulling in the silver. Yeeesshh

    I prefer the makeover to the all green. This one was my favorite though...

    I've watched Black Butte Porter evolve over the years, as my first craft beer in 1996. I'm missing a few of the labels which, IMHO, were all downhill from the original until the latest series came along with the fire watchtower, and wolf or bear's eye.

    I first had it at the second one here you put it very well down hill from the top. I feel the same way about mirror pond label.

    Oof, those last two are BAD, especially in comparison to the previous four.

    I generally don't care what other people think, but holding that new bottle in public would be embarrassing. Breweries, please stop making labels that look like children's boxed cereal.

    The one on the left was probably the first if not 2nd makeover and the first label used on cans of Prima. I really miss that label.

    The old Holiday Porter label was so festive! I miss it.

    This! Gawd, I hate the SN move away from the landscape windows. They did it with Summerfest too. I guess we don’t have to worry about that one any more...
