My Beer labels and packaging

[bbeckwith]

Hello HomeBrewTalk community! This is my first post so I figured I would say hi to everyone.

Anyway, I am a graphic design and a beer advocate who brews his own beer. Weird I know lol. This last semester I was given the opportunity to include my beer brewing with a school project. So basically what happened was I brewed my own original recipes and created the labels for the bottles and packaging! It was the funnest thing I have ever done! The name of the "brewery" is Lonewolf Brewery mainly because I was the only one brewing and creating this brewery identity and logos alone. Anyway, I was just wanting to see what everyone thinks of my designs? Feel free to be nice or mean, I am an artist so I deal with criticism all the time. (it's something we do).

Wish you could all taste them too because they were very good!
Oh and Im growing my own hops... random fact

Amazing! Nice work

right now I am working on a little bit different design for each label. There is not much of a difference but I believe that they are pretty nice looking. I guess I will leave it up to you guys to decide.

these are the new versions of the bottle labels, I have not had a chance to mess with the neck labels for the bottles but will get around to it. These labels will also be reflected on the six pack carrying cases like the old ones were. I mean if everyone thinks these new labels look any better than the older ones? The maps on the labels represent the name given to the beer, stories within my life, and the actual town/city that the beer was created for.

Sick! I'd buy this beer based on the packing.

Nicely done man. Let us know when you are taking on customers. You could do wonders for the homebrew population's labels average.

Wow! I mean double wow!

thnx a ton guys... I appreciate the comments! I guess Im doing my job right KayaBrew if the packaging would get you to try the beer But the beer itself is very good too. I mean my overall goal is to in the future (2-10 years) possibly start up my own brewery. I mean isn't that almost all of our goals? 8rnw8 I am perfecting a few more recipes of mine and then I will more than likely brew about 15 gallons and probably even get the labels printed in mass quantity so that I can maybe get some recognition and let people taste test etc.

I am not exactly sure where everyone is from, but if anyone knows of any home brew beer contest or festivals in Missouri or Nebraska, possibly even Iowa I would love to attend one and possibly just get my name out there and my beer

Here is a picture of my Due North IPA... it was truely delicious on a cool summer evening...
