Show Us Your Label

Just bottled this Quad last night. Not my artwork.


A cleaner look.

Browsing this thread really makes me want to up my game with labels. You guys/gals make some really cool stuff.

Certainly not as good the majority of the labels on this thread.

Badass! :rockin:

Gruit Ale coming down the pipeline.
Small 1 gallon batch to test if it is palatable to me.

Just bottled a Belgian Quad. Recipe inspired by Boulevard's Sixth Glass.

I have a knack and reputation for finding great deals on things I need or want -- so much so that some friends of mine routinely ask, "What did you find in the dumpster lately?" Part of this habit is born out of the joy I get from re-purposing things, and the other part is often out of fiscal necessity. Of course, this applies to my brewing equipment as well, so:



I plan to just hand write the name of the beers into the voice bubble.

I also have a Russian Imperial Stout I plan to secondary in my newly acquired oak bourbon barrel. It is such a mix of origins and traditions that I named it:

The beer and labels both turnedout better than I anticipated!

Those labels are incredible. Awesome job!

For my first January brew of next year. (Though will probably brew it in mid/late-December)

My sincere thanks to @JINKS for his assistance with my first label for my first home brew:

My first attempt at a label and name. I've named my "hobby"; Big Gear Brewery (after cycling- big gear is the race gear- plus I'm 6'5" and 275).

My first beer is a Clydesdale Porter. The tag line is "when you need a full-bodied, big beer to get the job done"

I also made a tap, using a cycling gear.

Thanks! I was just being neighborly to a fellow Montanan who lives so far north he can throw a rock and hit Canada.

Got a full batch of Red ale coming down the pipeline.

These two are fermenting away now. Still playing with the labels.

Impressive label, and the tap handle rocks! Using the gear actually makes it look like a huge bottle cap on top, which I'm guessing was intentional!

A label for my upcoming ESB! Tell me what you guys think. Anything black in the picture will be cut off.

Love all the labels!
Question for you all (newbie here)
Do you use waterproof paper for your labels and if so where do you get them?

More of an issue is waterproof ink. Normal ink jet printing runs readily when wet. I don't have a laser printer, but I suspect the heat fused laser ink would be more water resistant.

If I want to carry some of my labeled bottles in a cooler with ice, I put the bottles in a plastic bag in the cooler with the ice around the bag. Alternative is ice in a bag, but then you have to worry more about bottles getting wet from the condensation on the bags.

Also, be careful what you wish for. If you used waterproof everything, then you might have trouble getting the labels off the bottle for next brew. I use ink jet, normal paper, and glue sticks. Labels fall off easily when I wash the bottles.

Brew on

Another one I just completed for a batch that's going to be going down very shortly.

I send mine to FedEx for printing on glossy. Works great!

Some labels from recent and/or upcoming brews:

(I loves me some clip art!)

Last one for a while, and the best one so far, I believe.

Here are my latest ones, a Strawberry Rhubarb Saison, an Imperial Red, and Fresh Hop SMASH

Here's a recent one.

I am new to brewing but have come up with some train themed labels using the Beer Labelizer. I plan on brewing some wheat beer this weekend so I can use the Grain Train Label

This is fantastic.

I bet a couple others in this thread are in there as well but my label for Atlantarctica Belgian White IPA made it to the final voting round for AHA's Battle of the Bottle Labels.

Check it out and vote for your favorite, actually vote for mine no matter what your favorite is. Forget those other guys.

My latest pumpkin beer:

I didn't like my other brown ale label. So here's the revised Brown Ale label. I'm kinda diggin this one.

The scotch ale I'll be brewing in a month or two, the "Old Tom Morris"

First label for my first brew:

Brewing this beer right now. I should be cleaning up stuff during the boil but it is more fun to work on the label!

Feedback welcomed please..... I like them but what do you guys think ??

I have no words for what I've done here, so I'll just ...
