good people drink good beer - Hunter S. Thompson

The beer isn't to my liking, some would describe it as "malty", I'd describe it as "sickly sweet". Oh, well. Great label, though! The art was by Ralph Steadman, guy who did the illustrations for a bunch of Hunter Thompson's books, and is full of great quotes. Apparently the first label he did for them was emblazoned with the phrase "good beer, no shit", and it took four years in court to get the Colorado licensing authorities to allow them to ship the bottle...

Its a fun web site, and I'm going to look for some of their other beer.
