Homemade label - thoughts?

[ryebeachbrewingco]

Curious to get everyone's feedback - don't hold back. There's one subtle aspect to it and I'm wondering if it'll get noticed.

Is that the kido butai out there in the water?

Or do you mean the barcode you need to hold it on edge to read?

Nice label for sure. Your yeast worked out well. 4.8% from a 1.043 is pretty good.

The barcode! Nice one. Yeast definitely hauled - I got down to like a ~4.3% ABV (1.010 FG) but bumping up a bit for priming sugar

Nice label. I’ve got to ask, though, why bother putting the government warning on it?

I like the label. Is the name a nod to the Fleet Foxes album? (great album btw, love Mykonos)

It appears you're prepared for sale of the beer and you have a Brewer's Notice (TTB)! Congratulations! Unless the independent beer seal is just for fun?

Very nice label, very colorful. No doubt the stretched letter will be noticed, as people are accustomed to clever labels these days.

Which ingredient is not vegan? The name of the beer is awesome.

Maybe honey (bee exploitation omg!). My beers aren't vegan due to the gelatin I use to clear them.

Lots to respond to:
- government warning is just to make it feel more "real"
- brewers notice similarly just for fun / for aesthetics
- yes the name inspiration was from Fleet Foxes (the song came on while I was driving back from a homebrew shop with my ingredients on brew day)
- the non-vegan ingredient is the milk to secure the labels to the bottles
- glad you've all spotted the barcode

FYI, honey is technically non-vegan. Seriously, look it up.

This is true! But no honey in my beer

No honey in the beer, and no 'O' in Gambrinus Honey Malt.

Honey badger is non-vegan. And he don't care.

Which Rye Beach?

oh dang, that's honey malt in there. I just read it as honey.
