Show Us Your Label

[DNKDUKE]

Here's one of mine.

 

[tbred]

Here is my attempt at a label to honor my buddy who passed away last year. Let me know what you think or could improve on.

My draft labels. Currently in Afghanistan, hope to wrap these around the real thing in a few months. View attachment 273046View attachment 273047View attachment 273048View attachment 273049View attachment 273050View attachment 273051View attachment 273052View attachment 273053

Very nice idea, both in uniform design and benefiting that Foundation!
I would downsize the brewery name (too conspicuous, diverts attention from the beer name) - but only the name, logo looks nice.

 

[ThorGodOfThunder]

Chamomile Honey Wheat

This is great.

Still working on it, but I like the direction.

 

[rockydog101]

^^^^ incredible

 

[Kharnynb]

"cinnamon twist"

 

[JINKS]

Couldn't decide so I did both.

 

[gratus fermentatio]

Awesome packaging Jinks, looks great!
How's it taste?
Regards, GF.

Thank you. It tastes terrible to my unrefined palate. But remember I like boones farm, and mad dog, arbor mist, and annie greensprings.lol
Tastes a little tart but the plum is there for sure. No honey yet but it is still very young. 7 months old.

 

[gratus fermentatio]

Give it at least another year, you'll be surprised at how good it will be then.
Regards, GF.

What are you printing your labels on?

 

[JINKS]

What are you printing your labels on?

Avery sticker paper, then I just cut them out.

 

[doug293cz]

What are you printing your labels on?

I like to get mine printed on a laser printer at a service center like a UPS, Fedex/Kinkos, etc. They use a hard finished paper that doesn't soak up as much water, and the laser toner doesn't run when wet. I apply with a gelatin based adhesive (ref.)

Brew on

This was the route I was originally wanting to take for the cost effectiveness...but do you have any issues with the labels staying on, with condensation, etc?

This is what I figured I would need to do...fortunately I have a hookup at FedEx/Kinkos who might be able to work with me.

Laser print paper and gelatin for me

Condensation no, ice bucket yes. I also use a laser printer found here on Amazon. I watched the listing a while and got it for around $100.
Also the sticker paper comes right off after a soak in hot oxyclean water.

 

[Mirilis]

laser printer + milk for me

Nothing creative here. I just found a painting I liked and added the beer info.

I'm blown away by some of the artistry in this thread.

I just use milk for adhesion. My beers seldom go into a cooler of ice, staying mostly in the fridge.

 

[sboyajian]

A lot of inside jokes in this one, but it's awesome even if you don't get it.

Did this for my wife's Birthday Beers...

 

[Nagorg]

Hop Gnome IPA

 

[dave73ok]

Here's a label for my 10% all-pilsner malt IIPA.

 

[SatanPrinceOfDarkness]

I can't find any policy on nudity here, but I have a couple labels that are absolutely pornographic . Any objections to me posting those?

In the meantime, here are the 1st two labels I made in Avery Label Maker. These are intentionally DIY-simple/bad.

 

[NedStackey]

The Flux Incapacitor Double IPA (The IBUs changed after the label was made, so that will have be updated).

 

[SwissRico]

If you're updating it you might want to capitalize your W in Giga-Watts

 

[rockydog101]

Does this cross the line?

Sorry, not allowed outside the forum specifically for photos like that in the members' forum.

For posting here? No, it doesn't cross the line.

That being said, I do not get the whole zombie thing in popular culture. I understand that I'm outside the popular culture on this, but I truly don't get the appeal or fascination with it.

 

[drchris83]

Does this cross the line?

Being German, I have to say: yes. Yes, it does.

Like the zombies. Swastika? Not so much.

 

[Nomofett]

SwissRico; wonderful, I love a good pun name.


NedStackey; nice, what's fonts are those?


Rocky dog; to me, if you're going to use images like swastikas you have to have a clever reason why you used them and heil ale seems chosen just cause it rhymes.
For instance, I once did one called "White Flour" and used this image View attachment ImageUploadedByHome Brew1433639393.349442.jpg because a: I thought the pun was funny b: I thought turning an object of cuteness into one of hatred was done in a clever way c: the beer I made with it was over 50% regular flour, so it fit the beer.
Even then it still felt weird when I gave it to some friends that didn't know who the Pillsbury Doughboy is.
Nothing is over the line it's clever and witty and has a deeper point IMO

90% of Americans worship a 2,000 year old zombie. Just saying.

[Michigan_Wolfman]

Label I threw together for a batch of ale I brewed quite awhile back....

 

[SwissRico]

laser printer + milk for me

+1

 

[JINKS]

Here is a couple of labels my friend put on his beers.

 

[Mirilis]

made a skeeter pee label.. ill do the smaller version like this for wines.

Heres just a random 70 shilling label ive been working on.

 

[tkline808]

New label for a Saison that I just bottled. Will be eventually going to swing top bottles as I downgraded to 1-2 gallon batches. But thinking this will be my new generic label as I have black and white laser printer at work.
