Best. Labels. EVER.

I bought this locally brewed beer today purely for the awesome label.
I AM SO SHALLOW.

Although I'm also partial to this label for its *cough* uniquely refreshing depiction of our provincial legislature...

Apparently this one — another local brew — uses hops imported from Tasmania. (Which is 8,300 miles away last time I checked.)

Yeah, sometimes I suspect our Vancouver Island microbrewers may be imbibing more than beer:

...And I think I'll stop on this delightfully asinine note ;-)
P.S. Click on the image below to see a gorgeous full-colour collage by Shawn O'Keefe, the graphic artist who created some of them!

(Tonight I'm enjoying a modest raspberry wheat ale... a comparative teatotaller's delight at merely 5%. "Pairs well with sunglasses and patios" :-)

Date: 2012-08-21 05:28 am (UTC)BC! You know what I'm going to say, right? Wrong island, but oh I bet yours is just as pretty.
See this is why you and I are friends, because for two years of my life I went to school in this country town in Australia and it was the place in Australia that every mullet came to die. Old men with old mullets, young men with young mullets, and all the women had mullets and all the children had mullets. I see you a mullety island and raise you a mullety CONTINENT. Come to my arms.
ETA: BC is, in fact, not anywhere *near* Prince Edward Island and I have failed completely at friendship and geography. Please ignore that I am alive.

It's a Wikipedia trufax! Also had not realised until today that Superman went through his own special mullet phase. What HAPPENED to this planet in the nineties???

O Supes, why u so shaggy. I think mullets must have been the first haircut to emerge from the slime. What could be easier for the walking fish than the low-maintenance short fringe and long back? All you need is a mirror and the absence of shame, which, fish, yes.
