Looks pretty good! I think the layout for the type is a bit awkward in respects to looking at it dead on because of the curve of the bottle. That and the large space between Hopocalypse Now and Imperial IPA. I do like the format for your labels with the logo small and classy up top.

While the first one was good, I'd agree with you that version 2.0 is better.
I like the name, but unfortunately I see 2 issues.
1) Hopocalypse (not with the -now- part) is already a commercial brew.
http://www.cpbrewing.com/products.asp?cat=42&hierarchy=26|26
2) Like the label in the link above, I think if you're going to have a name Hopocalypse Now, it has to have a label that really strikes either the Apocalypse, or a reference to Vietnam or something. A bland pale label for something with that cool of a name just doesn't work.
That said, I like the label idea, just with a different name.

Great label.
I think the name works. Not sure abou the font though.

Thanks for the link Jezter6. I like the label from Clay Pipe. I would argue that at 50 IBUs and 6% abv Hopocalypse may be a bit of an overstatement. However, that's coming someone from the NW where our pale ales clock in at at least 40 IBUs and most of our IPAs are up around 80. :rockin:

50IBU, 6% doesn't seem like it's in "Imperial" territory, especially in the PNW.
Yeah, to you NW guys, 50 may not be much. I'm not necessarily a fan of it either. Then again, I don't like DFH either. I used to be more of a hop head, but after working my own recipes, I like a flavor that commercial/craft brews just don't seem to go for. Too many go right after the hop heads and try to push the limits of bitterness.

Damn girly-men! I agree with ya BT, 50 IBUs and 6% is a solid pale ale for me.

I really like the second label! The first had too much open white space. This one looks great.

This was my tap handle label that I did last year to celebrate 15 years of homebrewing.

Is it me with poor eyesight or did you forget to include the Space Needle in your logo again?

I like it BT. Simple and effective.
I've had the Clay Pipe Pale Ale and it's certainly nothing to write home about. I'll try their hop-ocalypse if I ever see it, but their Pale Ale 'pales' in comparison to many other pale ales available.
