Show Us Your Label

Here are a couple of mine. Tallahatchie Brewing Company out of New Albany, Mississippi. Trying to stick with a Southern theme. Got a lot of inspiration from modernlifeisANDY's labels.

Brewed two mini-kegs of this for our Blazonctoberfest (company is Blazonco) event today. It was a big hit!

In case the text is unreadable:
"A guy drinks a Shock Top and hates it, and you think that of ME?
No. I AM the one who Shocks.

HEFEWEIZENBERG is a decidedly American wheat beer with
a hint of orange, a blast of Noble and Cascade hops, and a clean
American finish.

Its extra bitterness makes it almost like a wheaten pale ale, but its
young wheat haziness make it technically a Hefe.

At a mere 4.5% ABV, it's quite sessionable - so drink up. Don't
be shy; we'll cook another batch.

Let us know what you thought at http://high-brau.com"

Thanks! Nobody seemed to get the joke, but everyone liked the beer (which was dead simple, recipe follows - not sure if it's more of a Wit or a Hefe but either way it's real tasty and sessionable). It was up against Kostritzer and Bitburger, and we kicked both mini-kegs of my homebrew and the others still had a bit left by the end.

HEFEWEIZENBERG
2.75 Gallon batch

~3 Gal spring water
0.5 oz Hallertauer leaf / 45 Min
0.3 oz Sweet Orange Peel / 5 min

5-6 Oz Orange Blossom Honey / Flameout
Handful of Cascade leaf (probably about .5-1 Oz) / Flameout

1 packet Danstar BRY-97 rehydrated, pitched at 60 F
Fermented at 62-65 F for 3 weeks
Kegged into two mini-kegs for a yield of 2.6 Gal and force carbed

Our first AHA event was this year in Grand Rapids, MI. The group brew was, appropriately enough, Beer City IPA. The daughter-in-law did all the art work.



We had 8 beers to offer. Our Imperial Rum Stout ran out in just a couple hours. Lots of fun! Can't wait for next year... Grand Rapids will be hosting the AHA convention.

Yeah, without her artistic ability our equipment would have looked great but our labels would be stick men... LOL!

I love these. I'm from coastal SC, so we had those same huge oaks covered in Spanish moss. Great labels!

I'm bottling a New Glarus Fat Squirrel clone today. My friend suggested Chubby Chipmunk for a name. Here is my labelizer submission.

Thanks! I've really gotten into label design and it is actually way easier than I thought it would be. Feel free to shoot me a PM if you need some ideas or help with label designs. Also, here's my brewery logo (my rough draft, at least):

My cream ale label. It was my first attempt to use inkscape, I've been using GIMP up to now. I gotta say, I really like inkscape, it's super easy to use, and has a ton of built in filters and stuff to play with.

Loving all these amazing open source programs!

This is for my upcoming batch, the jalapeno cream ale recipe that is floating around these forums somewhere.

My american barleywine label. I went through a few iterations of this, but I think this is the final one.

Would anyone know where I can pick up some vectors of the glassware recommendations to include in my labels?

Sure. Do a google image search for the type of glassware you're looking for plus "vector"

"snifter vector"
"pint glass vector"

I found quite a few good ones with those.

Nothing too fancy, but I like it.

ABV and details aren't included yet, but will be soon.

My latest style set of labels.

Those are pretty awesome. Great job. Bring some down to Keystone Homebrew so I can taste all of those great looking homebrews...

Just started doing the labels. Thanks to Andy Biggs for the label program.

From 2004 !!
Gotta find my old school ones from 1995 !!! Made on a windows 3 machine !

Brewed up a brown ale and added various extracts to some of the bottles. Made these labels for the batch. We changed the color of Ned's glasses for each of the extracts.

is there a good program and paper that you guys use to make your labels and make them stick... I used reg paper / glue stick and clear lacquer spray - in '99 (see above ► New Mortar Porter's-
===================
EDIT
well - nevermind I'll just go to the label info forum !

I use 32 lb basic paper and apply my labels with milk. Just brush some on the label and apply to a clean bottle. Use a damp cloth to smooth the label and clean off any excess. Works like a charm.

I like using milk too. Quick, easy, and I've always got some on hand. Does'nt smell at all so dont worry about that. And plus, just a minute or two in some water and the labels come right off.

love that shot with all the bottles lined up labels on. Makes it look real legit. nice work itsme_timd

Thanks!

This is the first draft of my label for my Utopias-like brew.

My first time creating a label without beerlabilizer.com. I am doing a label for a new dubbel that I'm still fermenting. I am using inkscape. Let me know your thoughts because it is my first and is not finished. The numbers below the name are not real, just for show until I bottle the ale, thanks!

My bad it posted a little small.

I like it...I would maybe drop a shadow or stroke the font to make it stand out a bit more...really cool though. :rockin::rockin:

I agree with this. Drop a glow onto the font, otherwise you can't read it. Looks great though!

My attempt for my first label. It's for a mead I am making. I bought "label" paper from midwest brewing, but it isn't gummed? It looks like regular paper to me.. I am new to this obviously!

Two of my latest.








Cheers!

First time poster. Here are a couple first attempts.
