Here's my first label for the boards. I've finally gotten around to piddling with Adobe Illustrator rather than my old favorite - Paint Shop Pro 8, booyah!
It's for a Gluten-Free beer I brewed for some relatives who have a gluten intolerance (which means no barley and wheat).
.planned:
•Scottish 80/- •Sweet Stout •Roggenbier .primary | bright:
98: Moss Hollow Soured '09 72: Oude Kriek 99: B-Weisse 102: Brett'd BDSA 104: Feat of Strength Helles Bock 105: Merkin Brown .on tap | kegged:
XX: Moss Hollow Springs Sparkling Water 95: Gott Mit Uns German Pils 91b: Brown Willie's Oaked Abbey Ale 103: Merkin Stout
98: Yorkshire Special 100: Maple Porter 89: Cidre Saison 101: Steffiweizen '09 (#3)
Recipe? I'm toying with the idea of malting a pound or two of sorghum, so I can roast/toast it into specialty grains. I'd use extract for the base.

Those labels really kick ass, the bottles look fantastic. Yeah i'd like to see the recipe also, promised to brew something up for a celiac friend

The labels look great...well crafted, but not overly slick or commercial. I wish I had some drawing skills.
So how does the beer taste? I have absolutely no idea what a sorghum based brew is like.
