2. Wailing Wench: This "full-bodied" ale is personified as a lusty, loud lady, "screaming with hops." If the name and description weren't enough for one to make the connection, the label stars a redhead with keg-sized breasts captured in mid-moan, mouth open, teeth visible, eyes blazing right into those of the person lifting the bottle up to his lips. Subtle.

1. Polygamy Porter: Yeah, you see where this is going.

How did Tilburg's Dutch Brown Ale not make this list? A strange, unearthly creature eating a woman that has raven's coming out of her butt should have been top of the list.

There are definitely weirder labels than this, though these are some strange names. 

Obvious choices are those found by the two punk-obsessed Midwestern breweries, 3 Floyds and Half Acre. 

Two lists like this in rapid succession... Is the LA Times is getting into beer label art a strategic decision or something?

I'll take "Websites That Are Not the Los Angeles Times" for $200, Alex.

Whoops! Yeah, my bad on that. Reading fail. My East-coast inability to keep publication ownership straight aside, this is the second beer label piece here in recent weeks, right?
