Just wrapped up this label for an Abbey Ale. I'm pretty happy with it and would will probably build out other labels around this esthetic. Made in photoshop btw.

I just use those Avery stick on labels and I usually only label the beers I give away. Here's the most recent one I'm working on. I tweaked Brandon O's graf recipe a little bit and made this nerdy label (yes I'm a Stephen King fan). I use Paint because there's way too many options in Photoshop/Gimp and I can't figure them out. Also, loving the Bleeding Cowboys font.
First batch that we have labeled. It's a holiday ale that we are serving at a couple party's. it's Santa, kind of... Kept it simple. It's just wrapping paper, two pearl beards and an unused bottle cap.

MrNic said:I think a lot of people do it because it looks cool, but it also helps keep oxygen out if you're planning on aging the beer for many years.
Oter said:You can get the wax at your LHBS, most likely. Put the pan of wax in another pan of boiling water to melt it. Then dip the bottles in.
