Like the second changed one. The amber ale in the orange really ties the label together top to bottom. I'm also glad you change the font. It was really hard to read before.
What about adding an "Since 20XX" tag? I've seen a couple on labels and want to add to mine. And maybe a taste description, hops used, specialty malts, that sort of thing.
Also, the corpe's left foot needs cleaning up. Maybe add a stoke between the shading change? Or smooth the curves up a little.
Overall I really like it. Better than I've manage so far.
