Show Us Your Label

I threw this one together for my blond ale

I started out just using white duct tape and sharpie, but decided I needed to up my game a little bit so here's mine.

Just finished the label for my Belgian Golden strong. Bottling on Sunday.

All I these labels look great!!! What program or website are you all using?

Here's my Jack D. Frost porter. I used fallen snow for water and Jack Daniels oak chips and 10 oz Jack at bottling.

Very nice, how did it turn out?

Haven't tried the Jack D. Frost yet. Only three days in the bottle,

I use a free photoshop type program called "gimp". It is fairly easy to use and there are a ton of tutorials out there as well. I don't have the money to pay for photoshop!

I have used this for my business, now I will use for labeling. (I haven't made any labels yet, except masking tape and a perminant marker)

Gimp is a good program, and way powerful. I also use Inkscape, which is a vector drawing program, also open source.

+1 to being a cheap-ass!
:rockin:

Adobe has available for free an earlier version of Photoshop. I use that along with MS Publisher.

Isn't photoshop $20 a month? Wait around for some deals...not that you NEED photoshop to make labels. I prefer elements anyway. Cuts out all the stuff you'll never need if you just make labels

I don't know enough about all the photo software to know about Elements and that stuff. I used free versions of CorelDraw and CorelPhotoPaint for years, but I ran out of backward-compatible free versions for my current OS, so now I use Adobe Photoshop CS2 which is no longer supported by adobe, so they give it away for free. The only complaint I have with it is it will pop up the registration screen every time you use it. You don't have to register it to use it, and even if you do register it, it doesn't save the info, so you'd just have to do it again. But two extra clicks to close the nag screens is a pretty good deal!

Be sure you copy the appropriate serial numbers below the download section.

I use Photoshop CS6 and Adobe inDesign.

Here are my first 3 brews this year.

Label and neck band from a Simple american ale that got an unexpected ABV boost!

Label and neck badn from a cask aged Oktoberfest beer... abysmal failure. WAY to much oak - bought a nice 2.5 gal keg and put the beer in for way to long.

My 'Royal' Stout, added some extra hops and old world trading spices (hence the Royal flair).

My First Stout!

For a mead that i currently have aging for September

The mead that's poets muse can be drunk now?

I dig it. How did it turn out? I've been toying with the idea of a blueberry vanilla mead for a while now.

yeah its from one of the sagas where they barter for permission for humans to be able to drink mead.

still needs to age. Rather hot still and just added the vanilla beans so once that its for a while ill let you know but shows promise

Nice. The picture could definitely pass for a cartoony version of Egil, too. hahaha.

Sweet. I hope it turns out as good as it sounds.

A simple labelizer freebie, but I think it works for this beer. But I just spotted a fat finger mistake. The date should be 3/28/14, not 5/28/14. Back to editing!

Is the "Bueberry" a play on words, or a typo?

Love the berserker graphic!

When I see "mocha latte", I have to chuckle. It is only in the South that I have confused the barrista by ordering a "mocha", only to be asked "do you mean a mocha latte?". Growing up in the land of Starbucks, we drop the "latte".

Which labelizer are you using?

Earthless Pale Ale, inspired by an awesome jam band:



And a Hefeweizen:

I can relate. A while back my "t" apparently stopped working and ended up printing and labeling 2 cases of "Srawberry Blonde"..... Grrr. Bet I changed the font ten times before I was satisfied, but never saw the typo till someone else pointed it out as they were drinking one!

Ha! I grew up getting "jamocha" milkshakes at Arby's and mocha ice cream at Baskin-Robbins. Mocha just indicates a flavor combination of chocolate and coffee. I can see how, in today's Starbuck's society...and especially if you're from the Seattle area...that the meaning can be assumed to be something more specific to an espresso based drink.

As for the labelizer, it's the one that has a sticky in the labeling thread. I think it's just called "Beer Labelizer"? Really simple, but good for fairly generic brew runs. If I have a special something I'm giving someone, I like to be more creative, but my lack of software is extremely handicapping!

A label for my new blonde ale recipe.. after wrestling with GIMP for a couple hours. Wanted to keep things simple.

Here's my labels, They are already printed, I just need to get them on a few bottles.

Thrown together on labilizer.

Some great looking stuff, guys -

This is is my first time making anything since I've joined the forum. I ahven't done any actual beer brewing yet, but I did start a batch of Sima and made thise labels for the bottles:



Nothing fancy, but I'll work my way up to that!

A friend of mine just painted this up for me starting to work the label. I need to get the ABV and such on there. Was supposed to be a pic of me but doesn't do me any justice.

Now you have me craving a jamocha shake from Arby's. I cannot remember the last time I had one of those...

Hey guys! I'm new here, but i thought I share the labels that I came up with for the beer my buddy and I brewed...

Here are my latest 2 batches, a Pliny clone (efficiency was too low, hence the lower ABV) and a Summer Wheat (compensated for the lower efficiency and got a better than expected). A friend made my brewery "logo" - actually have 3 or 4 varieties, and then the rest is done with powerpoint for simplicity.

I have only been in the homebrew scene for a few months but this is what I came up with for my latest. It's brewers best witbier. Next batch I'll be trying out the all-grain waters. I ended up just drawing what I wanted and using MSPaint to add some text since I'm kind of dumb on the nicer software.

It looks much better when printed.

Brewing this up for my wife this spring.
