Threw this together tonight- doubtful I'll actually ever print it... I'll be perfecting it longer than than I'll keep the beer around :).

Thoughts or suggestions (besides the fact that I need a brewery name?)
 
I like it. I just wouldnt have the bottom part (5% 14ibus 18srm) so big. I would make the discription bigger, if anything.
 
I think it's perfect.I really like the large ABV % although most people won't know what teh IBU and SRM is it could be a conversation starter.
 
I like the label don't change anything! Do you have a recipe for this I would love to give it a whirl!

Beautiful label. I'm afraid I can't comment on the beer until I've sampled it about 40 times ;-)
Sounds delicious.
 
It's nice. Quite trendy - although I would make the smaller font a little bigger as it'll shrink when you print it.
The "block" style of the bigger fonts is really good though, and great image and colour scheme. Like it!
 
do the pecans really come through in this? I'm assuming you crushed/chopped those up and threw them into the mash?
 
I roasted them 4 times, and crushed them up, and threw them in the mash. It does come through. I probably would use more than 8 oz next time.
