Show Us Your Label

New for my amber brewed today

 

[JustinCider]

Some many people with soo much talent I'm ashamed to show mine. I've been working on this one for awhile now. I have also been messing around with names for around a month now and i really can't decide on one. I just slapped in the government warning and a bogus barcode to make it look more offical. I used the code generator that someone posted on this site. I think this one will just take you to msn...hahahaha. :fro:

Any input, insults, or death threats would be great.

Looks good, what i'm doing for ours is generating the QR code that links to a blog post detailing the specific beer for that specific label. That way I can have less text on the beer label itself and if someone is really interested, they can follow the QR code to a post detailing the actual recipe and story of the beer they're drinking. Or at least that's the idea...

Oh, and I'm going to totally kill you in your sleep. Extra murder style.

Graphic design is another one of my hobbies so labeling is a great complement to brewing. This is from my second batch:

Great idea! Is putting the info on your label linked to the QR code OK with the Feds?

Not sure what the Feds have to do with my blog or my homebrew.

I can't sell it, the state law says I can only share 72 ounces per person per year... otherwise I'm generally free to put no label or whatever label I want on it.

Here are a few of mine...
Blarmody's was the first beer my old roommate and I ever made, a winter spice holiday ale. Our cat seemed to enjoy it, and she was a ficcal bitch, so it was pretty easy.

Blind Squirrel is a pecan ale I make as an attempt to clone Lazy Magnolia's Southern Pecan - because even a blind squirrle finds a nut now and again.

The porter is Pi Rho Porter (Pyro) - it's made with a fair dosing of cherrywood smoked malt and has a strong smoke flavor.

The last one was the simplest label with an excellent delivery. Sunday Morning is a chocolate oatmeal milk stout with a vanilla bourbon finish (yeah, too much going on maybe). Only did 22oz bottles, dipped in gold wax. Pictured is the brewery mascot and namesake, Bad News Bear

As a Fire Protection Engineer, the pyro and the nerd in me came together for that one...

My wife and I made this label for beers we gave out at Christmas.

Love the ribbon as a label. It really makes it stand out from the crowd. It would be a good marketing gimmick for a commercial beer.:rockin:

I made a Facebook page for my brewing and created a QR code that takes you right to the page.

For a couple knock off......er.. I mean clones I came up with

I like it...well done. I would change up one thing. You list OG, FG, and ABV...but if you have the OG and FG, you know your ABV and vice versa. Maybe list OG, IBU and ABV?

 

[BadNewsBrewery]

...but if you have the OG and FG, you know your ABV and vice versa. Maybe list OG, IBU and ABV?

Us beer nerds might know, but it would still require a calculation, and odds are the general drinking public has no clue what any OG or FG means or how that equals ABV...

Thank you. I wrestled with exactly what stats to show....and after I finished I thought that I should have added IBUs. My thoughts on showing both OG and FG is for us beer nerds....but understand they are both not needed with ABV.

I am brewing this beer on Saturday, so I need to update the OG et al once it is done.

Might think about updating the FG or ABV instead.... The OG is said and done already. I like your label though, nice clean look!

Sorry Broham, guess I plagiarized the "nice and clean" phrase without knowing - I'll send you a commission from any profits. :smack:
