    It's still just a picture of Skeletor playing dress up.

    I'm pretty sure Three Floyd's sole motivation for every decision they make is to have it create a thread on Beer Advocate, wherein a reference will be made to them burning down.

    I completely agree with this. I have even heard about a brewery in Belgium, brewing beer and their bottles don't even get a label. I would never buy that, or drink it. I mean, anybody with the gumption to hand me a beer gives me no information about the product, and then acts like that's part of their identity - liberal, hippy, bullshit.

    Get with the times, stinky Trappists. In fact, let's pick this apart too! As you would agree my friend Saaz, poor people are poor on purpose, they choose and enjoy it. So why would Trappists do a bunch of work, and then not profit.

    Is trappists the plural form of trapper? Not like Trapper Keeper but the kind that go after varmints that wear fur. Aint no liberal hippie gonna do that shit, just ask Jeremiah Johnson. head nodding gif.jpg

    They use cheap labels because they spent so much money on face tattoos. :grimacing:

    Actually, ever since the brewery burned down, they've been ordered to use flame ******ant labels and glue. It's the best they can do.

    I am not sure how on earth you can claim it is hard to remove their labels to reuse the bottles for homebrew. A short soak in PBW and they fall right off clean. Only ones that come off even easier than Three Floyds would be Bell's.... but much of my beer used to get bottled in reused Zombie Dust bottles.

    SOOOO sorry for resurrecting this thread, but I truly had to post a few pictures of one of my latest bottles I got from FFF. I don't see anything odd... Just gotta keep your head tilted and try not to see double. Just don't do this after too many beers, it could be messy!!!

    Replace the Zombie Dust label with Favre's dick pics, and I would still buy it. Who cares about the quality of the label, as long as the taste is the same.

    I would buy this beer if it had no label at all, just brown bottles!

    Exactly. Your pictures remind me of the Barry Bonds double cover Beckett I received as a kid. The issue I had had two of the same cover. I wrote a letter to Beckett, thinking this was a rare thing. They never wrote back. ha.

    Budweiser's labels are always perfect.

    The label machine was damaged in the fire.

    When people stop buying their beer because of crooked labels they might invest in a better labeling machine.

    You could but them a newly refurbished labler from Krones for $300,000
