    For anyone interested, Olde Hickory will start bottling 12 oz. bottles soon. The link they provided on their Twitter did not say which ones. However, it appears they may be changing their labels as well. I thought they needed a little face lift so I'm looking forward to it.

    I may have seen the new labels for all of their core beers in the TTB label approvals. They all look fantastic, and as you said they definitely needed a facelift.

    Strange thing, though, is that the label in that link and all the others I saw said 22 ounces, yet they said they're going to bottle in 12-ounce bottles.

    Scratch that. They got 22-ounce approval for pretty much all of the core lineup, but now it appears they're trying to get 12-ounce approvals. Whether that's instead of or in addition to bombers, I don't know. But expect new labels for Table Rock, Hickory Stick Stout, Piedmont Pilsner, Ruby Lager, Death By Hops, Hefe-Weizen and Black Raven.

    I like Hickory Stick stout in their standard lineup.

    It's about damned time they changed the labels. Brawley-faced Daniel Boone aside, the original labels have sucked for a LONG time...

    The Hickory Stick Stout label is brilliant, from a design standpoint.

    That was a drain pour for me. Glad I only paid $4 for it.

    Yeah, I had it on tap one time and really liked it. That was before I "honed my skills":sunglasses: though, so maybe my tastes have changed.

    Huh. The new labels are more simplified than the old ones. And one looks very familiar:

    I really dig the new labels as well. I know it wont happen but 12oz Irish Walker would be awesome

    Agreed, it would be awesome to have Irish Walker, Imperial Stout, Lindley Park, Daniel Boone, Event Horizon, etc. in 12 oz. four-packs.

    This is great news! Awesome. I enjoy their core-beers and will definitely be purchasing these as soon as they hit shelves.
