Looking for logo design critique!

Okay, folks. I'm trying to design a logo for my home brewing efforts. This is my first attempt, using my (incredibly) rudimentary Photoshop skills, and I'd like some feedback. My roommates, friends, and I call my house "The Factory," hence the name and the bottles as smokestacks. Any and all critique is welcome. This is by no means meant to be a final version, as I know it's pretty rough.

I like it. Very clever!

Pretty nice. I would work on the clouds a little (there are literally hundreds of free cloud brushes out there for free) and maybe a different font...but it's YOUR brewery so it should be what you want.

Good start, but as noted above the smoke puffs need some work.

Might seem odd. But try putting a delivery truck silhouette backed up against the left side. For some reason when I think of a factory i always picture a delivery truck loading or unloading supplies.

Looks awesome so far very creative.

I like the beer bottle smoke stacks. Very clever. Sometimes less is more.

Not sure if I like the black and white. Can you do brown (amber) bottles, a color gradient for the background, blue sky, greens and brown for the earth with the horizon somewhere around the neck of the bottles and white smoke?
Its a clever visual idea. My first impression though about drinking something from a dark factory with smoke belching is not positive, not really negative either, somewhere in between.

I love the concept.
Try centering the text and see how that looks.
Different font.
Clean up smoke.

Make the smoke from the big bottle form into beer (like a waterfall) pouring into a glass that formed from the smoke on the right.

stress it out a little too
