Like their slogan, Three Floyds is definitely "NOT NORMAL".
In fact, they consistently create the most interesting, cutting edge (and even disturbing!!!) artwork for their beers. I decided to take some time and find other less common beer labels or tap handles and collect them here.
Check below for names, pictures and brief descriptions (where possible):
