    They are awesome guys. It was pretty cool seeing them go from cellar to market in such short period of time.

    Stillwater has fantastic label art - many made by a local tattoo artist.

    Surprised nobody has said Jolly Pumpkin. I save 1 of each bottle and display them simply because they look like works of art.

    These are exceptional! Never seen em before out here on the west coast.

    As a graphic designer/web developer myself, Uinta Brewing is my favorite.

    The compass rose detail on the glass bottle is a nice touch as well. Check out their website too: http://www.uintabrewing.com/brews.php

    Goose Island has some really nice, classy minimal stuff.

    The Fort George cans stand out pretty well on the shelf with the huge type.

    Hair of the Dog is another one with great attention to detail.

    I could go on and on with these...so much good artwork out there. Lots of bad stuff too...

    For me I love simple and clean designs. Nothing too cluttered or too busy. Nice bold colors, but keep it to a few per bottle/can. I haven't seen anything that I've absolutely loved, but these come close:

    Sick! Loving these. Great website too. Interactivity is great and this infographic about brewing at the bottom here is a must see. Be sure to click on the arrows for the parallax scrolling. Man! So cool.

    Just checked out their site. Wow, that is pretty cool. Everything from the infographic, to the beer information (especially where they compare the beers bitterness to say, a Cavs fan,) is just really cool.

    -the FFF labels are great- the bottles claim theyre illustrated by "our friends in the comic industry" Hell yeah! Also, coolest bottle cap for sure.
    -love Ralph Steadman's work for Flying Dog
    -Bell's keeps it classy
    -Smuttynose keeps it classy
    -The Unibroue paintings are beautiful (good close-ups on the beer profiles on their website)
    -Short's is a great rainbow of silly paintings with that lovely custom font that I love so well.

    These are all fun, but I will always remain a sucker for really archaic-looking/ no-illusttation European stuff.
