You are quite the artist! I could see the tree and meadow image hanging on my wall. Quite the soft and peaceful contrast to the bold and bright images of your other labels. All are fantastic, and I see you enjoy brewing sours. Interesting combos.

I agree and like the first as it appears to be shattering from a solid mass....

That is the benefit of a laser printer. I have an inkjet unfortunately otherwise this is a good money saving tip. Removable labels are rather pricey.

Nice label. Sounds like a recipe I would enjoy. Would you mind sharing the link for it?

Nice label. Pear cider sounds delicious!

Clever! should be enjoyed globally while we distance!

Funny! A beer for the times!! I wanted to bring that theme into my next label, but the brewmaster nixed it - he doesn't want to be reminded of it in his beer. But I can really appreciate your humor!

Nice!

How are you doing the die-cut label? Are you having a printer print these for you?

We've brewed two more batches since I shared the Ice Shanty Ale label. I just print them on 3x4 removable Avery labels so we can reuse our bottles. Creating beer labels is a great outlet for my creative side, which rarely comes out to play these days as a holistic wellness practitioner. Because...

These are great. Where are you finding the images? Are you finding free art or do you subscribe? (As long as we are not retailing it doesn't matter - but I always like to find resources.)

A friend has a small screen printing biz and it turns out they can etch glass as well. I would like to know a resource for a small quantity of glasses. I see I can get tulip glasses on Amazon.com made by Libbey for $20. Is there a better price point?

I am wanting to add roasted pecan flavor to our next beer, which will be a vanilla porter. Will adding coarsely chopped pecans to the mash add a notable, distinct flavor? Might one provide a more distinct pecan flavor adding as one would dry hopping? Curious who has brewed to add nut flavors...

Our brewery name was inspired by an island in one of the lakes we walleye fish off of in Canada - so our labels have a fishing theme. It has been an evolution of labels thus far, and I have fun with it. My partner, the brewmaster, is a painting contractor so I used a font called Paintbrush...

Comparing Breckenridge Vanilla Porter to a local brew- Madtown Nut Brown. Breckenridge VP still wins. I am wanting to brew a vanilla porter next, and I am thinking of adding a nice roasted nut flavor... (tulip glasses happen to be from our favorite craft brewery in the Michigan UP)
