You already know this beer, brewed as an homage to Ozzy Osbourne, is cool. But Brewer's Art sealed the deal with the new label.

After this caught my eye, it kind of struck me as a ripoff of Flying Dog's labels by Ralph Steadman. What do you think?

The 10 Best Beer Labels of the Week: January 26, 2013

While freezing my face off in New York this week, I daydreamed about sunnier days and al fresco beers out in L.A. Then I drank a lot of Troeg’s Perpetual IPA (such a great beer) and felt a little better about my own reality. Something else I’m feeling good about: Another round of great beer labels, including a particularly awesome shoutout to Ozzy Osbourne from Brewer’s Art in Baltimore.

Click through the gallery above to see all of the week’s best beer art.
