You don't see this every day

As the saying goes, think globally, drink locally. There is a fantastic microbrewery here in Grand Rapids called Founders. They make the beer that we like to drink. I prefer their Centennial IPA, while Deirdre likes Dried Hopped Pale Ale. In preparation for the 4th of July weekend, I bought a few six packs to tide us over. Well, last night at Cocktail Hour, I noticed that there was something amiss with the labels on my beloved Centennial IPA:


It would appear that the people bottling the beer that day started their happy hour a little early. I am happy to report that despite the labeling issue, the contents of the "upside down" bottle passed a taste test.
