I'm noticing a strong Bleeding Cowboys font trend in home brew labels.

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

I feel like the sky in the background of cricket pitch should be a muted green color in spirit of your tank buster label. Love the tankbuster one.

Bottled the Full Moon Pomegranate-Apple Cider this morning. http://www.singingboysbrewing.com/Pomegranate-Apple-Cider.html

Well here is my homage to my Sierra Madre brew from Northern Brewer....I used Microsfot Publisher....I suck with Inkster, photoshop, and pretty much everything else it appears.....I would love to know how you all that are doing it are putting the scanner thingies on the labels.....

Oh I should mention this is supposed to be able to wrap around a 12 ounce bottle....

Here's a label for my Arrogant Bastard clone...

Our graphic designer used illustrator and photoshop.

Nice lables everyone. I haven't been here in awhile. But here goes

A Tribute to Bud!

Here's the label for my first brew.

Here's the last two labels on the bottles carbing away

Here are my three that I will be putting on my bottles: A Pumpkin Ale, a Vanilla Chai Porter, and a Blueberry Blonde Ale. I made the brew logo on the left, haven't made an official logo yet with writing. Will probably be named Luna Brewing Co. after my doberman (as seen in the logo):

Amazing, XJ. I love vector art on labels.

Bleeding Cowboys is all over the place... Guilty of overusing it on my stuff too.

Thank you! Now let's hope the beers don't suck so the labels don't go to waste lol.

I used photoshop to make my lable image. In looking at all of these labels I can see that they might have been made on a lable program. What do you recommend ?

Hello everyone first post to this website! I'm still pretty new to brewing but love everything so far! Heres my first label came up for my next brew (just a draft did it in hour). Thoughts?

Awesome SpringStreet

Thanks! anyone recommend somewhere to get 50 colored labels printed for very cheap?

Very nice! Good use of color and negative space. Many labels on this site are too crowded and busy.

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!

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.

Just to amplify - the inkjet printed labels will run if they get wet. If you intend to just put them in the fridge, you won't have any problems (or at least I don't). If you want to throw them in a cooler with ice, then they will run all over.

Very nice! I definitely like the 'less is more' approach.

thank yas

Awesome layering! You could up the opacity on the batch no. and bottle date to fight against the fade out in the bottom corners. Love the steampunkish designs!

These are our latest label. I think my wife does a great job with these, she uses a program called GIMP2 and loves it.

Thanks. We're definitely having fun with the Steampunk stuff. These are our standards.

E.L. Cobbe's No. 4 Oil
Lenora Wickham's Garden Ale
Constable's Cup Brown Ale

Just messing around with Photoshop, which is something totally new to me. Not sure on a brewery name yet, but might do something like this.

I need your feedback!

Since making this batch I've learned the error of my ways in using the self-adhesive labels. I've now picked up the much better milk method.

Very simple label, but does the job, and I can get 25 on a sheet.

A brew to honor the 2nd birthday of my brew partner Phiny

Here's my latest attempt at a label.



Feedback is appreciated.
