I hope the IPA tastes as good as the label looks. Great job! What program did you use to do that?
Thanks for the kind words I used the mighty Photoshop, as per usual.
I'm cheap...I use gimp. And it's nowhere near as easy to use as photoshop.

Greencoat I wanted to say those are some seriously sick labels. I have a Graphics Design degree, mostly useless now as a minister, and about 15 years experience. Thusly I fancy myself somewhat knowledgeable about design layout and such. You have a real talent my friend! The christmas, squid, & forrestwalk are off the charts!

Wow, thank you! I took a couple design classes in high school, and a few in college before I decided to become a rock star.
Needless to say, I'm going back to school in the winter.
Rock Star huh... that's a good un, familiar but good!
Hope you're not going back to school for graphic design! I advise against it if you ever want to be able to take care of a family! Seriously I can't imagine the job market is much different anywhere as related to 'graphic design' positions. I was an art director for 8 years, tons of experience, fairly talented, professional, dedicated, good references, stable job history, etc. Yet finding a graphics job that pays over $10 an hour is damn near impossible right now. Sure a lot of it is the economy, but it's simply a depressed marketplace. The fact is in my area the employers are hiring all these people with 'technical institute' certificates/degrees or junior college graduates at $8-$12 an hour. They'll gladly go through 4 or 5 before finding one with enough talent to hack it in order to keep cost down. It's a lot easier than paying me what I'm worth, or other similarly qualified people. I would have made a very fine living if not for the over-saturation of the job market by lesser skilled people. Glad to have gotten out when I did! Moral of the story, do yourself a favor, become an engineer, IT guru, or go Medical! Sorry to hijack the thread, I simply enjoy offering unsolicited advice!

This is a label I just whipped up for BierMuncher's Black Pearl Porter. The sample I took while bottling was delicious, I can't wait to try the final product!
n00b question for ya: What filter/effect did you use on the background of this label (the kinda wrinkly paper look). I've been looking for a decent filter like this and I haven't been able to come up with it.
I scanned a piece of printer paper I crumbled up a bit, then changed the color to fit my needs in Photoshop. I try to use pre-made filters as little as possible and just go for the gold!
