One author's observations suggest this possibility. Consumers may be turned off by unappealing graphics and question brew quality when certain information is absent.

The marketing muscle of the label is well-known among brand stewards. A great label can give a product "pick-up power" and get it into the shopper's cart—at least the first time. Beer is a case in point.

What happens when the quality of the label doesn't match the quality of the product? A blog called beer(en)stein found, anecdotally, at least, that poorly designed labels could hurt sales of well-crafted beers. Take a look at what this author says are the important pieces of information that should be on a label to indicate the brewer is serious about making a quality beer.

Simplicity is "in" in labeling. Give consumers only the most essential information, and tell them a story that compels them to become buyers of your product. But this article makes a good point. When the label design doesn't sit well with consumers, and key information is missing or incomplete to help guide consumers' decision-making, they might well perceive that the quality of the beer inside is questionable.
