Painted beer bottle labels

[mudslinger]

Anybody else here into collecting 12 ounce beer bottles with painted-on labels? There aren't too many bottles that have painted labels instead of paper, I guess because paper is probably cheaper than paint, but I have 11 in my collection which include:

Red Stripe
CAGUAMA
ROLLING ROCK
BIG DADDY
BAJA
SOL
Corsendonk
Columbian Gold
BLUE RIDGE
Corona Extra
STONE IPA

Not sure why I started collecting them but I am always on the look out for more, they aren't at all common and I haven't added a new one in years.

All of Stone's labels are painted....not just the IPA. How about Rouge brewery? I think all of their stuff is painted. They are in Oregon. Some of the Abita bottles are painted...

EDIT: Anchorage brewery, and (lame, I know....) Guiness' new bottles are painted

Mike, I think you may have started collection because they taste so good!
