I really like that engine graphic. The agave wit label is an awesome concept. I like the graphic on that one too. The only thing I don't like are the horizontal lines behind the Mayahuel. It makes the image a little too busy and distracting. And like Freezeblade said it looks a little stretched.

I like it. The antique book feel is really cool. I would remove the quotation marks from cream ale though, and maybe move it up a little closer to the Vermont St Brewery text.

For the tux label, how about making the neck label a bow tie?

Looks really good!

The rewards of a little patience. I still have trouble waiting sometimes, but it sure does pay off! Sit back and enjoy, you'll be hooked in no time.

I should get over to Cap City, I haven't been there in a while. I don't know if prunes would give you the same taste that fresh fruit would. I've only made a fruit beer once, but I feel like the fresh fruit was the key. I would just chop up some plums (pitting them as well), pasteurize them...

I was thinking about a Metro themed name/logo too. You beat me to it! I think the first one is a good idea but it does need some curves. Maybe a line running from the top right corner, around to a few stops then ending at the bottom Left, kind of a Z shape. The second one would look good...

I had a dream about brewing an AG batch last night. As an extract brewer (so far) I take this as a sign from the beer gods to build a MLT and take the next step. I figure I'll try a couple of PM batches for some practice, then jump in to AG. When I get my next paycheck I'm off to the hardware...

Simple and clean. Looks good.

How big are these things? I'd be worried about displacing too much of the wort and having a messy spill-over.

I did the same thing but left the beer on the fruit for a week and still not much of the peach flavor came through. I think peaches just have a weak flavor that doesn't transfer well. Next time I'll up the amount of fruit I add.

If you just put the un-crimped caps on top of your filled bottles for maybe 5-10 minutes it does the same thing without leaving the beer open to the air. Just a little trick I learned from my buddy. I'm sure it isn't necessary, but why take the risk of leaving your bottles open to the gross...
