Show Us Your Label

The treatment of the UPC is great.

3 awesome design posts in a row.

My first two batches finally ready. Seemed to take for ever in the cool garage this winter. Screwed up a few steps but they're drinkable. I know it's just patience right!. These labels are erasable and reusable on the bottle. Just wash and refill! I'm stoked to finally have one design for all my brews. PS. I sell and can personalize this design for anyone interested. Just visit my website.

PS. I use Martinelli Sparkling Apple Cider Bottles. They come with a resealable cap too! Love recycling!

heres my first one, pretty damn happy with it

Here are a few I put together for beer gifting this Christmas. Cheers!

Here is a label I did for a future brewery in Ohio. He had the idea (scared gingerbread man running from stout wave) and I illustrated and executed the label. I think it came out pretty good.

These are the labels for my batches so far:

American Pale Ale



Milk Stout



SMASH - Viena Malt and Motueka Hop



Red Ale with a malty profile

what software program do you use? I am looking for this type of label. I like the fact that you can text in the sides.

I use Coreldraw version 5. Very powerful package and you can do high quality designs if you have the time to learn all that it can do.

Here are my latest labels. I've decided to do a complete range with WLP 500 as the yeast. 2 of them are aged, one with french oak and the other with bourbon barrel cubes. Let me know what you think.

They're amazing love the first one well done

I re-did the label for my Stout. I'm writing a dystopian sci-fi story where the main character's home brewing knowledge saves him from the FEMA camps of the near future. In the story,they come up with an idea to ship the beer kegs with this label on it right before they change everything back to a more civil time line...just dropping the F-Bomb on the New World Order one more time.

Habanero IPA

Now that's different! Looks like a naga chili.

Looks good, I think it might look a little better using a higher resolution image though.

I dunno I Google Habanero that came up. But the ones from my garden in the beer looked similar

Spent a couple hours yesterday putting this label together and just did some 1st time bottle cap waxing! These should make some nice holiday gifts!

These look great. What kind of labels are you using?

Our first brew was from a beer kit but wanted too have a label for gifting purposes. This is our first go at it.

Thanks! The labels I used were some Avery 22827 they come 4 to a sheet sized at 3.5 x 4.75. Then just made a template in illustrator to match the sticker sheet.

Merry grinchmas everyone.

I agree, those are the best looking labels I've seen on here. Must be one of them graphic artists.

On the bottle now

Niantic, those look awesome. What kind of brew is that, and what's the name? Can't make it out from the picture.

It's brown ale the recipe is from northern brewer I went with the Chicago bears theme and called it bear down brown ale

Thinking a large drip tray and plenty of bandages may be in order, but cool concept.

Massive copyright violation, but made these for the Pale Ale I brewed for a friend's bachelor party (he's a massive Simpson's fan)

Which do you prefer for my Irish Red ?

I decided to use a bottle neck label for my logo. Quiet Corner is where I live in Connecticut but it was proving too difficult to incorporate into a logo. I came up with this as a play on words...

I like the blue and red writing. More aesthetically pleasing IMO

Freaking awesome!

The one with the blue and red letters is superior. Great job.

Here's ours. These are done on clear vinyl and the bottle is clear. We identify our different brews by a tag that gets tied to the neck of the bottle and a colored bottle cap.

Quick label I made for my Smoked Porter. I print this on butcher paper, and tear with a ruler for a nice artisanal hand-crafted look.

Brewed a session IPA based on Founder's All Day IPA. It ended up raining on us pretty hard all brew day and we had to do the boil under a tent. So... we dubbed this one Rainy Day IPA. My buddy suggested we do a label that was a play on the Singin' in the Rain movie poster so I took to Photoshop and this is what came out of it. The original movie poster is included for comparison.

Brewed a coconut porter with/for a friend who's mom had recently passed. He needed a reason to smile so I made up these labels as a surprise. Showed them to him when he picked up his case. He's a massive Tron fan, so the theme was easy. Did the whole thing in MS paint, which actually helped because I wanted to make it a little janky, for a funnier effect. Our names at the bottom are blurred out, because the internet.

EDIT: The lightcycle pic was the necker. Still cracks me up.
