Beer labels

Who doesn't like beer?  When I was twenty, there were only a few dozen from the big companies like Molson, Labatts and Carling.   In Canada,  for  over ten years now,  there has been an explosion of craft and micro-breweries and its the same,  but for much longer,  in the US. 

The flagship Molson in Quebec.  In the rest of Canada,  
it's Molson Canadian. 

I found this old bottle from the 70s
that surprisingly was not a 'stubbie' as most
Canadian beer bottles were at the time.  

I've managed to peel off what I think are great labels off of bottles for many years now and most of them are glued into various sketch pads and journals that I bring with me wherever I go.  If I'm at the liquor store and say I want to try some new amber ale and I see several different  brands I've never tried,   I'm most likely going to get the one with a cool label. The old saying ' don't judge a book by its cover' doesn't really work for a visual person like me.  Yes, I've had great beer with bad design for their labels...  I just wouldn't peel it off.   It seems that recently more and more beer is only available in cans, which is too bad.   Below, several craft beer from the US and Canada.

Belgium,
 hard to beat for beer. They've been making it for so long.
