Show Us Your Label

Take it to eleven. Again. The third in a Spinale series, this one with invert sugar.

I thought The Simpsons' episode with Spinal Tap had a different slant on things.

Not labels, but I've been doing bottle caps with friend's pets on them:

I haven't used them for that, but GrogTags will do caps, too.

Thank you!

I don’t bottle much anymore, but I was thinking of bottling some of my Czech Lager, so I came up with this. Too Kafkaesque?

My wife is pregnant with our first child and wanted me to make a beer that could age and be ready when the baby comes. I made an oatmeal stout and named it after the Dr Seuss book “Oh the places you’ll go.”

Beer: soon to be bottled ale with my favorite polish Oktawia hops.

as a teacher, I love this! lol Especially since 3rd of the way in the book it pretty much implies "Yeah, Your gunna find delinquents on this street who drink and do drugs, so avoid those guys!" lol

Label for the 3rd rendition of my Anunnaki Double IPA

I have one general template I use, to keep it simple. Then I just add in the info for each beer on the side.

I like the idea. When I was in college many moons ago and home brewing was rudimentary my artist neighbor drew up a label when he found that my roommate and I had taken up the craft. We would either sneak mimeograph time and resources or, if feeling rich use the newfangled "Xerox"(tm) machine in the college library. I found a copy a while back:

<edit: Rough translation, Strange Brew. However, the word used for strange has many connotations, not all of them complimentary, grin>

Just looking to share my most recent labels

Quick question…picked up some flip top bottles a while back. They have the raised design all around the bottles that a label just won’t stick to.
Wondering if the think tank here has any alternatives to normal labels?Trying to ‘dress up’ my Winter Warmer. Not planning to give them away but would like to make them presentable for Christmas events.

I don’t have any useful advice to pretty them up. I just let the texture show through my labels. But I use copy paper, water based inks and a glue stick. No dropping my beers into an iced cooler unless you want beer roulette.

You could create custom caps (expensive) or small dot labels for the caps (cheap). Or depending on the raised design you can just create smaller labels that don't cover as much area, and you can place them so they don't overlap the raised design. Or you can create tags on a loop of string, kind of like the bottles are wearing a necklace.

The raised design pretty much covers 80% of the main body of the bottle. My wife has a trophy and award business. In the past I once used ribbons from her stock with 4 inch diameter medals with art inserts. I could move some elements of the label above to fit into a round shape.

It's time to wish you Merry Christmas!

Already showed the label, but stuck one to the mini keg dispenser!

I would glue the label to a paper tag with a string or if you have heavy stock paper, cut your printed labels tag shape punch a hole an add a string loop for your swing tops.

I opted to go with some non brew specific labels since my canning will be only small runs of multiple beers for special occasions.. didnt want to have to order new labels for each beer. They will be used more like crowlers from a brewery and I'll write the beer/abv with a sharpie.. here are a couple I threw together this week.

Also where is everyone getting these printed? I have looked at a few sites but not sure I wanna spend as much as I'm seeing them priced..

I got mine from Stomp for 25% or 30% off during a Black Friday sale. They were still way more expensive than I wanted to spend, but whatevs. I even priced out blank labels and printing them myself, and that wasn't really much cheaper.

Between cans and labels, my packaging costs more than the beer itself for most brews. But it looks really flashy when I give it to folks, and most of my beer is served on draft, so it's more of an occasional cost rather than a constant brewing cost.

 

[Hoppy2bmerry]

My laptop that I normally work labels up with is on the fritz... So for now these will have to suffice.

 

[Auzzyman]

Anybody played with AI generated images for labels yet? I am not sure I can go back to my crude drawings after seeing what this stuff can do now. Here is a couple I am going to get printed.
