Well, I have been thinking about making some labels since I first started brewing a few years ago. Never got around to it until the local homebrew competition I entered recently finally motivated me.
Here they are:
They are all printed from woodblocks and linoleum that I carved. Seperate block for each color. Some are actually wood engravings carved on end grain maple. The text for the name of the beer is printed with old handset letterpress lead type. Now that I have the base image I will probably make new labels to print in the center area for new beers.
I was hoping to win something at the competition for these, but alas, it weren't to be.
Oatmeal stout won third (the beer not the label) so, that was cool. I think they look better in person but I am not the best at scanning, oh well.
Anyways, enjoy.
