Slay Winter – The Best Beer Labels of Week 51, 2014
This week had some gorgeous labels and there’s lots to show off. I can’t promise I’ll do it every time, but I’ve decided to add an “Eyesore of the Week”.

Whisker Wars! The Best Beer Labels of Week 50, 2014
I’m playing a little catch up with the weekly label report. Week 50 had some shiny little gems. Magic Hat Brewing Company Art Hop Ale Fans of Whisker Wars will appreciate this off-the-wall label.
