Made a simple SMASH IPA to accompany terrible b-movies. ABV, style and other information is on the other side. The label is a homage to Robo Vampire and is tied around the neck of the bottle with a string.

I just started to label my homebrew… First was an Oktoberfest that just finished:

And this is my upcoming Krampus label that I am bottling today:

I am going to do some minor tweaks on the Krampus label, probably just the decant/bottle conditioning note if not remove it all-together and add some other information instead.

I am keeping my labels primarily white and simple so I am not wasting a ton of ink to print them… Really love the milk/paper labels, they pop right off in cleaning solution. So nice…

Huge fan of Krampus, and the label. I need to come up with a black&white design. Even on our plotters at work, the dark/heavy labels just don't read well.

Nice job man.

edit: personally not a fan of 'how to pour' notes on labels... friends think its pretentious and family gets worried about not doing it right. now i just put city/state/bottle date on them and call it finished.
 
Thanks, appreciate it!

Yeah, I agree... I gave a bottle to someone yesterday who read the pour notes and they were like "If I can only pour half my beer I will only get two sips!". Once I told them it was leave a 1/2 INCH, made a bit more sense... But right then and there I thought the same thing, remove it.

So I will eliminate that and just put some other info on there... Beer description, the story behind the name, etc... I will figure something out!
 
I used to have two on mine, one would link to the recipe. Now I just have one that when you scan it, it goes to the check in for it on Untappd.
(Both titles or pics are puns that would only be known to people pretty familiar with Japanese creatures)

Your walking in front, and hands where we can see em.

Had to fix my label. The previous one was much too dark, the text was unreadable. Unfortunate, I liked the other one on the screen. I definitely need to tone them down to a simple black and white logo or something.

Very nice, I like the stylized design a lot.
 
Been holding off on sharing these till I knew they would be used. These are for an inherited partial mash kit a friend gave me. The grain bill was unknown (which gave me the name), the yeast had to be replaced with Notty, and I adjusted the hop schedule and dry-hopping (+50g Cascade) to fit my tastes in an American IPA. Bottled last week and it's spot on ....:mug:

These really turned out well! Good use of accent colors on the side and I especially like the "Mystery Malt" in the Scooby Doo font. Nice work!
 
This is the label I came up with to be used with my IPA I am bottling this weekend... I used some home grown Cascade and Chinook for the dry hop (along with some Mosaic and Simcoe).

It is the first IPA I have brewed that I adjusted the water profile for, did a first wort hopping, hop stand at 160-170F and oxygenate with pure O2... The result? Based on the hydro sample before the dry hopping, really damn impressive. Far more flavor and hop "juiciness", it's wonderful. The aroma coming out of the air-lock post dry hop smells incredible as well. I will have another taste this weekend when bottled..

Isn't the anticipation after trying new techniques or recipe additions amazing?
Nice clean label dude.
 
I'm so jealous... I can't use anything but mspaint... lol

That's all I use for the creation. Then I export to MSword to size it for label printing.

edit: oh, spray a little clear on it to preserve the ink.
