Show Us Your Label

[Warthaug]

A quickie label made up for a beer that I near-totally screwed up:

Gotta love google images + free fonts!

Kick butt my friend... Love the cross table ware! Love it! Hey, by chance can you tell me where you get your neck labels? Or, do you do them yourself? (Label type / brand / setup / etc.)

Cheers,

Though, I use a lot of weird size bottles and have never found a stock neck template that has worked for me. I always end up using string and measuring to get the correct dimensions and building a template from scratch. Even wine bottles I like to use hocks or stretched bottles. Really annoying to put neck rings on...

Ehhh... VIPER would fit better..

I already made that label too...

So i found some surreal art i had to use because of the bee's nest in the hair of the girl...its seemed perfect for mead...i had to snatch it up and use it for my strawberry-vanilla. Hard to see it in the photo but it turned out great IMO.

That looks awesome Justin.

Great idea! I wanted to do a beer for 4th of July, but forgot about it in time. You should use these caps if you haven't already bottled. http://www.midwestsupplies.com/plain-u-s-flag-caps-144-ct.html

any input for a ms paint using, beginner label maker?

Yes, don't use ms paint. At least use GIMP. Free open source photoshop-like program.

www.gimp.org/

Also note Adobe is going to a new subscription style format, pay about $50 a month for creative suite...

Some of these labels look pretty good though! Cheers!

Here are my latest. I am going to go with this template for awhile now. The two part desgin is for 12 oz bottles, the single units fit larger bottles.

My first attempt at colored labels using Gimp, alot of inspiration on here as well as a label tutorial I saw online a while ago. Let me know what you think.

This was my first full boil - definitely an improvement over my slow, barely boiling electric stove.

 

[tmac2050]

I like this one - going waaay back for architectural style. Beer is starting out great, and should be really good as it gets a bit older.

 

[tmac2050]

This one is probably my least favorite so far. I just missed the mark with the curving red text.

It's an homage to Surly getting the MPLS zoning code changed to allow for tap rooms, which are springing up all over the city. Now if StP would just get their act together, I might have a chance at a taproom a bit closer to home. Back on topic - its a Furious clone that is Goooo-oood.

I think I will, I'm going to try and get a good recipe down and then make the labels. I always say kiss my freedom loving ass and I thought freedom loving lager would be an awesome name for a beer

I dunno if you're taking any of my suggestions to heart, but I really like what you're doing with these now - incorporating the text into the image.

Looks really good. I'd say your overall theme is pretty unique, and there's nothing bad about that!

This was my lineup for a family get together over Memorial Day weekend.

 

[GarageMonk]

I just made this for his wife as fathers-day present. I want my wife to love me for my beer too!

 

[2ButtsBrewWorks]

I have labeled my HB efforts 2 Butts Brew Works (named after the 2 cats, Big Butt & Little Butt, who are ever curious of the brewing happening in their basement)

The element that I am reusing is the paw print filled with an image that pertains to each specific brew.

First label is for Big Butt's Summer Ale. I used beerlabelizer.com for this one and added the paw print which is hops

Next is the Klienen Arsch Oktoberfest (translates to Little Butt in German)

And then we've got the Lord Baltimore Rye Pale Ale. The photo is of a family reunion that we have in the Outer Banks. Our family came over to America from England on a ship with Lord Baltimore. The paw print is sand.

Next is a raspberry beer I am trying for my girlfriend. Santtalgi is raspberry in Korean, she studied abroad in Korea and loves the country.

And last is the mango habanero pale ale that I plan on brewing. The paw print is habanero peppers and I tossed in a picture of Tina Fey. There is a real thing called the Tina Fey Effect, where you eat a spicy food and the spicy is not detected until you continue eating the food and realize that it is really hot. The same is said to be true of Mrs Fey's looks. (proof: http://commonsensedancing.blogspot.com/2008/05/tina-fey-effect.html)

cheers!

All great labels, but perhaps an anatomy lesson is in order. The item(s) highlighted in this picture, while very nice, is not a butt....

My birch wine

And just for you guys will have a chance to read it.

"Fermented with sun dried apricot, raisins, vanilla beans and dried orange zest.
Seasoned with birch syrup"

 

[greyfixer]

Here's my first label using beerlabelizer:

 

[mandasaurus_rex]

I like drawing pictures and them gluing them to my beer bottles. We brewed extract kits for the whiskey stout (my person loves whiskeys, I love stouts, so its the mushy, threw-up-in-my-mouth-a-bit label), also an imperial pale ale. We brewed a belgian tripel, and my boxer/chupacabra mix, Tesla, looks kinda like Admiral Ackbar with a severe underbite, so I just went with the horribly awful play on that. Those aren't on bottles yet, because I'm waiting for it to carb and I feel like labels = ready to drink, so I'm waiting

Those are rad! Lol

Yeah those are awesome!!!

 

[ViperMan]

Brewed this Saturday as a one-gallon experimental batch. Also planning to brew a Brown-Ale version of it later this week perhaps. I went with 20% of honey malt just to see what'll happen!

This is my label designed to be used on all my brews
