Our latest: a delicious Double IPA. Label created using BeerLabelizer.com

So.. this isn't yet a label... that's in the works as well!

I've been messing around with a bunch of random ideas, but I like the potential of this design. I'd appreciate some feedback before I continue to re-learn/experiment with PS.

2014

my first label 2012. Sometimes you just want to know whats in the bottle.

In the interest if complete honesty, I would say that it looks cheap. Conceptually I think it works but it looks very unrefined. Have you played with turning the mug around 180 and using the naturally curved handle as your first "C"?

I agree. I haven't spent enough time with ps to really understand how to refine and enhance the smooth lettering.... I need time, but wanted to get external opinion on the concept!

I like your idea of using a rounded c for the handle... I used the same font for both "c" 's just because... I'll give it a flip and try other fonts for the handle! Thanks mate! Appreciate your time.

Label #3 complete ... creating these is as much fun & as challenging as the beer they're intended to represent!

Winter Warmer recipe with an addition of vodka extraction of mulling spices.

My first label. Made to fit Avery Arched Wine Labels.

Here are few from Beer Labelizer with some slight PS mods.



Have not brewed this one yet, so the ABV is a placeholder.



My son is a big DOTA player. The Brewmaster is one of the heroes (characters) in the game and is often used by pro-players in tournaments.

These are all great labels! Now to figure a quick way to apply them

A couple rough drafts. Printer paper tea stained.

Here are a few of mine...

Nice guys! Good job

BlueEyes, those are pretty cool!

Here are some of mine in action. From left to right: Winter Hopnik IPA, Chocolate Oatmeal Stout, Creeper (Zombie Dust clone), Ehrenfelder Brown Ale.

Annual liquid Christmas card:

Here is my label applied to a couple of bottles.

An Art-Deco poster inspired label I came up with for a set of side-by-side experimental batches

Combined my personal photography collection with some homebrews and came up with these:

Here is my second try.

I know this is amateurish given the quality of work in here, but not bad for MS Paint and free labels (printed on regular paper with ink-jet printer, applied with milk), 30 mins for 46 bottles.

Yukon Imperial Stout

Simple. Doesn't have to be a fancy label IMO. Looks good mate. Cheers!

Second label for our second brew... changed the name of our homebrew "team," apparently my buddy isn't a fan of umlauts.

This one is for Christmas, a 9.5% Imperial Red Ale

I suck at making labels and rarely make them because I keg but this my latest one... (Told you I am not very good!)

Simple and very elegant. I always over do it and make labels to busy.

I Google searched chalkboard images and stole the blackboard picture. Added the outline and words via Microsoft Paint.

I'm such a label junkie I make labels for beers I'm thinking about brewing.

Still lagering a Red and this Brown is at least a month out

ps. see what I mean about busy?

Kind of a crappy pic but here's my Christmas Cheer Beer this year. Was in a pinch so I used a hot glue gun to get the label on. Not super pretty but the person I gave it to was impressed and that's all that matters!
