There’s a huge element of truth to what our favorite TV beer drinker said, otherwise it wouldn’t be amusing. Regardless of that, it’s still (arguably) possible to enjoy some aspects of beer, even without drinking it. Take the field of beer label design for example. For as long as beer has been bottled (that’s for around the past 300 years), label design for this frothy brew has been in constant flux.

These vintage beer labels, some of which are still used in modified form, hark back to a time much simpler than today’s. Here are 18 classic label designs from all over the world. Sit back and enjoy!
