PSA: Don’t be fooled by the dog on the label

A little Public Service Announcement for you today… just because something has a fun dog-themed label does not mean that you will like it.  Exhibit #1… no matter how fun you find the following beer label, I suggest you walk away and leave this bottle on the shelf.  It was not good.  Not good at all.

Even though it wasn’t very yummy, I still think the label is pretty darn cute.

That being said, I’m sure I won’t learn from my own mistakes and will fall under the spell of another deceptive dog label in the future.  (Anyone else out there suffer from this problem?)  Don’t be like me, kids…

  1. I would definitely have fallen for that label and probably bought some as presents for doggy friends! Stick a candle in the top 🙂 It'll be a talking point anyway, xxxx

  2. Oh yeah I would have bought more than one, sad but true I know im a total sucker for stuff like that too. 🙂

  3. I'm not sure which type of Stout it is but if you like Guinness, this could be your type of beer. Not for my taste buds though 😀

  4. Oh gosh. What is "imperial" stout anyway? I'm guessing it's not on par with Guinness. 🙂

    I fall for cute labels, too (although mostly when giving the beverages as gifts – poor people).

  5. We have seen some with great looking labels and were tempted to get them just because of how they looked! Lots of love, Debbie & Holly

  6. Schnauzer Days – Good idea!

    Kali & Aswell – I think that some companies do make doggie beer!

    Krazy4Pets – I do like Guinness, but this wasn't anything like that unfortunately.

    Elizabeth – I know what you mean! Others have been the "lucky" recipients of things like that from me too.

    Life Student and Bailey – Hard to describe, but it just didn't taste good. Kind of smoky, but not in a good way…

  7. Smuttynose ale doesn't taste bad and has a cute dog on the label. Unfortunately, the dog that inspired the name has passed on. Thinking about it makes me too sad to drink. 🙁

  8. My mom LOVES Laguintas beers, especially the Pale Ale and IPA. They have a really cute dog on all their labels and also have a yummy beer called "A Little Sumpin' Sumpin' Ale".

    Give 'em a sip! 🙂

  9. I read somewhere that putting animals — any animals — on a label for wine and spirits helps sales. So you're clearly not in the minority here. I think it's a pretty cool label too!

  10. I don't even drink beer or alcohol, but I have seen some very cool beer labels that made me want to just have them! lol

  11. I know exactly what you mean. Happened with/to us with an adorable wine label… on a bottle of what turned out to be rot-gut wine. SO disappointing!

  12. I have been drawn to Sheltie advertising. Don't always buy the stuff, but it does get me to stop and look when there is a Sheltie in the picture/ad.

  13. Pamela – I haven't tried that one. So sad though!

    guccitheboxer – Thanks for the recommendation!

    Edie – At least I'm not alone… 🙂

    Karen – I like Guinness… this was not in the same league at all!
