I picked a bad time to quit drinking... I was just messing with you Bud Selig. I happen to LOVE the normal FFF labels and art. The Dark Lord was done by a different guy, a local dude from Griffith, IN. Flossmoor is great and they have such big plans for 2008!!! remember city neighbors, you can hop on the train and it takes you right to flossmoor station (the old train station in flossmoor) drink all you want, eat "The Burrito That Ate Flossmoor" challenge the cook to make things that aren't on the menu late at night and ride home on the train... hassle free.... fun fun fun.

I'll second Flossmoor Station. Let me know if you need any samples Chuck. We should have beer in bottles in 2008 if everything goes well. andrew mason flossmoor station brewing co. http://flossmoorstation.blogspot.com

Thanks, all. But it occurred to me that I need to add some Flossmoor Station selections and a few Ridgeway Brewing Elf selections. Make it a beer a day, everyone.

"Stick to your Budweiser" and "Docker's mentality"? Take it easy guys. I just think the label looks amateurish and dumb (and for their other beers as well). As for the beer itself, I'm sure it's awesome. I've had other 3 Floyds beers before and they were great. Anyways, Chuck, nice job with the 365 Beer thing.

Actually drawn by a 30-something dungeons and dragons fan. Stick to your Budweiser. I only have 4 of each years' bottling left. I sold two on ebay. word.

Yea Thoms shame on those small micro brews for using colorfull artistic labels. Brew your own brew! You Haters! Hate! hate! hate! hate!

yes, completely turned off by the labels. that's about the dumbest thing in the world but for some reason those labels just drive me away. maybe i should try drinking it from the tap instead of from a bottle with a label drawn by the head of the Lord of the Rings fan art society

It's called being original and adding color Bud, check into it, until then, shut yer Docker's mentality trap, its much better than the 312, Goose Island labels All Hail to the Dark Lord!

Great recovery on the 365 Beer thing, Chuck. Nice to see that Chicagoans help up well. Thank heaven for Goose Island, Three FLoyds, Two Brothers and all the great places to sample these and other beers in Chicagoland.

I'm sure the beer is excellent, but is anyone else turned off by Three Floyd's label art for their brews? They look like they're drawn by a tenth-grade Dungeons and Dragons fan.
