    One of the worst has to be Hoppin' Frog Brewery.

    Curious if you are referring to the labels on the year-round beers or the limited releases like Triskaidekaphobia, Plant 1 Powerhouse IPA, Louis Quatorze, and the new Schooner Zodiac Kolsch?

    I can't believe Great Divide isn't getting more love! Definitely my favorite labels, primarily because of their minimalistic style and consistency. Favorites include Hoss (love that plaid), Old Ruffian, and the Yeti clan, but they're all pretty much flawless.

    One more benefit of beer for breakfast (granted, your daughter might not be crazy about it).

    Gotta go local for nice lookin labels. I like it when the brewery uses the K.I.S.S. method on their labels and lets the beer speak for it's self.

    You can't tell a book by its cover; you can't tell a beer by its label - so why bother?

    I've always thought New Glarus and Central Waters both have average/cheap looking labels considering their beers are mostly terrific.

    Talk about KISS, this is as good as it gets. Great simple but effective label.

    Paper choice for the label helps a ton, I think. If it were a normal, plastic like label it wouldn't be effective. That rough, textured paper really looks great.

    I actually thought the BA Naked Evil labels were an improvement!

    All time least professional due to looking so fake ... failure before the beer was even brewed.

    I don't think they made it past the handful of test market cities they sent it to ...

    My worst/favorite right now is Knee Deep, specifically Hoptologist. I used to think it was corny as hell and didn't like it, but now its grown on me and I actually like it.

    When was this? I slightly remember these being in the Twin Cities market for a very short time.

    Just out of curiosity, are you referring to the traditional labels on the year round beers or the new special releases like Triskaidekaphobia, Louis Quatorze, Plant 1 Powerhouse, or Schooner Zodiac Kolsch?

    Flossmoor Station and Two Brothers are very professional, as are Boulevard's.

    My all-time favorite is no longer used: the previous Crooked Tree IPA label--very zen.

    I can't stand the Weyerbacher labels. That damn comic sans-like font.

    Why does everyone think it's a baby? I don't see a baby at all, plus it doesn't make any sense that it's a baby....
