I'd say the grungy flourish fonts are being over-used in all sorts of markets from brewing to the recording industry.

Amazing, XJ. I love vector art on labels.
Bleeding Cowboys is all over the place... Guilty of overusing it on my stuff too.
Thanks! anyone recommend somewhere to get 50 colored labels printed for very cheap?
Welcome to HBT!
Couple of common options:
1) a premium output on your inkjet, then Kinko's color copies (they're laser, so won't run)
2) output onto decent paper on your inkjet, then seal the inks with a spray of clear Krylon.
Glue with milk or a glue stick.
Here's mine. Screen printed and handcut by me. I also screen labels for a local nanobrewery/cafe. Want to keep it as DIY as possible. Same label for ea. Batch, just different color scheme to differentiate ea. Style. Back label (not pictured) is a more open and upside down version of the triangle with space for bottling/abv notes etc... Also not pictured is a round decal (for capped bottles) looks really cool.
Cheers!
