Show Us Your Label

[sasky7777]

For the first attempt at a Lager

Simple, clean, very nice

Posted this label before, but just bottled another batch and took some new pics.
Peace!

Elegant, one of my fav's

I brewed my first batch of beer 21 years ago when I was a junior at Virginia Tech. My second brew was three weeks ago and I went all-grain with a hefeweizen. I have bottled that brew and will be transferring pumpkin ale into the secondary Sunday. Picked up my supplies for an Irish Red today....View attachment 33722

I like the template that you have going. Two schools of thought in that every label can be different, or the way that I prefer is your labels, where there is something tying them all together.

Okay round #2. Meets my new criteria:

Black + white, so I can print @ home.
Simple
Something basic that I can use for all beers, and just indicate what's in the bottle with an X.

It's a work in progress...

I absolutely love this label! The "this beer is alive" is great!

This is carbonating in the keg right now...

Very Nice. That label is the TITS as the kids would say.

Newest revision. I actually even have a guy in SD making me some period correct stoneware bottles that I can fill and cork. He's imprinting them with 'Murphy Brewers - Boxborough, MA', which is going to be badass. I'll probably bottle 2, and keep 2 of the bottles empty, in case the others blow up from the pressure. If they come out cool, I'll probably have more bottles made just as keepsakes. My sister is an "antiquey, knick-knacky" person, and wants one just to have around.

I haven't started on a label for any of my beers yet, as I am a home brew virgin, so I am still collecting all the information to be had, but I did reach out to bmbox12 to have him build me a 24 pack box with this logo laser etched on the side of the box..

I've been TripleNad across many forums covering many different topics of interest since 1998, so I have continued the "German name" into my home brews. We'll see if the name sticks and actually makes it onto my beer bottle labels.

Awesome!

Still in the works...

 

[paulster2626]

^^ That is neat!

I'd lose the Inked God font though, it's too fancy and in-line. Try it with a font called "salvation" - I think it's messed-up looking enough that it would fit nicely.

 

[paulster2626]

Okay, I think I'm done now. Settled on a brewery name (didn't bother to check if it's taken, and I don't care).

Whipped up a logo and a label that I can just change the beer name and description on, like this:

Well, lay it on me boys - I need to know how to make it a little better.

Can't find said font, where do I look for it.

Dig it, I like it.

It's my favourite font site, btw.

That's a great site. I've never used any fonts other than those that came with photoshop - any clues/tips on how I go from downloading the fonts from dafonts.com to installing them in photoshop? Thanks!

Mac or pc? If Mac, download the file, double click on the folder and it will unzip. Open the new folder it created, and double click on the .ttf or .otf file and click install font.

No clue on a pc

Storm King is a sizable mountain in the hudson highlands, directly across the river from us:

We have absolutely endless amounts of poison ivy in the summer, and this is probably going to become my go-to drunken lawnmowing option:

This is a batch of lighter saison I did from extract for my daughter's first birthday celebration/housewarming coming up in a few weeks (it means "the littlest bear"), it's finishing conditioning now:

This is in the bucket, just a regular brown ale, but the brick images are from a long defunct local abandoned brickyard in the eagle sanctuary, these bricks are EVERYWHERE in the woods down that way:

I did what was supposed to be a tripel, but I got my water additions wrong, so it's too weak to be one, but it is an overweight blonde... so:

We live on the hudson, which flows both ways, even 60+ miles north of the harbor, hence the title. Image is from the Chicago exposition of 1906, I believe:

FORGIVE the spell-checker underscores... this was just taken as a screenshot from the cheapo powerpoints I put together to make these.

On windows 7 download, click font packet and click install.

Did two more

EDIT: Make that three... They are still works in progress.

You need a logo or something to tie them all together. Maybe a badass-looking heart (is there such a thing?) with a crown on it. Perhaps a ragged looking heart with a barbed wire-ish crown would look cool.

You could try substituting your little logo as the "O" in King Of Hearts. It'd look neat.

Perhaps make the king of hearts the main picture in the first one? Since its your brewery name. Sorta make it the focus of the label and use it as your brewery logo. Or maybe some variation on the king of hearts.

I know they've been needing something to tie them together it's been bothering me, and your idea for being to substitute the "O" out has given me some Ideas, I'll try to make a brewery logo soon.

Yes, but I feel that the drawing would take away from the other labels. I'll come up with something I'm sure.

Thank you both for Ideas

Waiting for my equipment is made easier by designing labels for our first batch. I'm going to fix the arched text along with some minor details, and the backlabel text is only a place holder. The colour will vary with the type of brew.

What do you think?

First beer label. Thinking about changing the name to 6th Ave brewing company instead of "Atlantic Shores" since test groups said it sounds like a retirement home.

Also, due to the temperature that this beer was fermented at, it will probably taste like a red tide. Hah.

 

[SouthernCross]

...test groups said it sounds like a retirement home.

Hah! A nursing home... Now we need to name 1 after some prison wine!

 

[cruckin78]

A Winter Warmer I have fermenting.

I like the labels, but not sure 5.9% constitutes a strong ale.
