I’m starting a thread for beer label appreciation! Funny labels, eye-catching labels, cool labels, boring labels, well designed labels, badly designed labels, etc. Any beer labels of note.
This funny label is for Juice Never Sleeps, a NEIPA by Cellarmaker. The art is by fearandloading. There’s a bunch of fruit people working hard in an office. One of the fruit people, an orange headed person, is pouring themselves a glass of orange liquid (would this be considered cannibalism?) from a coffee carafe, presumably to caffeinate and prevent sleeping.
Here’s another label for a Cellarmaker beer - Tiny Dankster. Hold me close now tiny dankster (sorry). It’s an homage to the famous Elton John photo on his Greatest Hits album. Only Elton appears to be an anthropomorphic hop man on the beer label.
Wow thanks for posting about this. I wasn’t familiar with this SF beer company. Apparently they shut down in the late 70’s. Cool looking labels! I found an article on them, the location of their brewery is now the SF Costco:
Another funny label by fearandloading for Cellarmaker Brewing for their Hop Slangin’ IPA. A frog is surreptitiously handing another frog (or perhaps a toad?) some hops, much like a drug dealer.
The folks at Three Floyds are a bit wacky. “Gumball Head” is one of my favorites,
but “Dismembers Only” is a worthy candidate.
I grew up in Hammond, across the Little Calumet River from Munster. The thought of them making (great) beer from that open sewer always gives me a chuckle.
I have so much Burgie memorabilia I don’t know what to do with it!
