I think it's absolutely awesome.
Picturing it on a bottle makes me think that is an awful lot of white space, though, so I'd either:
1) add a red pinstripe around the whole thing about 1/4" in from the edges, or
2) just cut the label off at a 2" width instead of 4.5" or so for a unique skinny label.
Nice work!

I think it would look very cool on a acid etched bottle.

I think that'd be fantastic. It's really hard making labels look new or unusual, but a minimalist thin label with your (really nice) design on it would be cool as tits.

I agree! Just plain glass with your minimal logo on there. Would look KILLER!

Love - It!
Another vote for a skinny label - that would be very cool and pretty distinctive! Love the logo, too. Good story behind it?

+1 Skinny label. My brother bottled a batch of wine with a skinny label and it looked awesome. With that sweet label, it would be a really distinctive label.

Thanks everyone! 
The thought of skinny label did enter my mind. I'll print it up and see how it looks.
I might turn it and see how it looks with more of horizontal orientation.

glad you asked....
My brewery name is broken city - a name I've used for a long time for various things. I'm a City Planner and back in school, we would use little boxes to mock up urban patterns, hence the broken box.
My initial designs were starting to look like soda labels and I wanted something to show that the bottle is off-limits to kids.
