My latest batch

Fermentation Specalist
Hey thanks man! Last time i made a label i put the year as 2105, heh. Maybe I'm making them a little toooooo quickly :beer:
Not sure if I'm printing this label though since the keg is about to kick.
Just fun.
This one is a week away from bottling.
![Craft A Brew - Safale BE-256 Yeast - Fermentis - Belgian Ale Dry Yeast - For Belgian & Strong Ales - Ingredients for Home Brewing - Beer Making Supplies - [3 Pack]](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51bcKEwQmWL._SL500_.jpg)
Latest label for American Wheat, with tropical fruit flavor and aroma from hops.
I'd change "smell" (which generally has a bad connotation) to "aroma"...
Also... why can't fat chicks drink it?
Edit: Sounds delicious, by the way!
Good point on using "smell"!
Fat chicks can drink it... but they gotta pay!!! ...... Sorry, bad joke on a Family Guy reference!
Don't forget that you don't want to run over a glass of beer with your car!!
Nope. Stuart would say "smell."

Here are a few of my labels to date -
It would probably be fair to say that the basic design is a bit "one-note," but the continuity of that theme is important as a matter of establishing "tradition." For me, the illustration/painting that is used is what's important, where the character of each particular brew should be demonstrated.

"Rød maling," or "Red Paint," is an Irish Red Ale. The blurred background image is a reference to a 2003 incident in the Danish parliament. Two activists had thrown red paint at prime minister Anders Fogh Rasmussen, shouting: "you have blood on your hands!" using the red paint to symbolize the bloodshed of the war in Iraq, which Bush sycophant Rasmussen was responsible for dragging Denmark into, famously stating that: "Iraq has weapons of mass destruction. This is not something we merely believe. It is something we know." (We now know better, and the extent of the damage caused by his national politics is only now becoming clear, too.)
The perpetrators managed to smuggle the paint into the parliament by asking to visit a parliament member of the political party Enhedslisten who was unaware of their plans. "Rød maling" was brewed for Enhedslisten's fridge in the parliament as a humorous reminder of the incident. Hopefully my friend and member of the party's board of directors won't get caught when he carries a bag containing "red paint" into the parliament.
"V for vandalisme," or "V for Vandalism," a Schwarzbier, is also a humorous remark to Enhedslisten, although more personally. My above-mentioned friend had asked me to brew beer for the chief strategist's 40th birthday, and I had to come up with another joke. The chief strategist has a slightly rogue past: in 1998 he was convicted for vandalism against the fence around an internation camp where asylum seekers were stowed away for years with virtually no rights. The far right parties spare no excuse for thus referring to him as a violent criminal so it seemed appropriate to turn it into a beer joke.

An old label I did from a photo my son took with the old Vivitar
Label idea, any constructive criticism or ideas? Been playing around with Inkscape and trying to make the program do what I want has been fun.
Depends on what kind of image style you're going for... I like the minimalist simplicity of it. If I was doing it, I'd make the font pop a little more with an outline or color change. But that's just my opinion.
I like the font the way it is. Integrates well with the graphic. Also just an opinion.
Brew on

Thanks both for the opinions, I appreciate it. I'll play around with the text some more and see what I can come up with. I'm thinking maybe some orange would pop well on the blue.

Just finished the label this morning. This is for my Hopslam clone. I probably could've spent more time on the text and fonts, but I really needed to finish this since I bottled a week ago. Also, the caps I made based on the BREW magazine article from a couple months ago (https://www.homebrewtalk.com/showthread.php?t=583411).
I don't think I'v ever heard that expression?...

The cursive "L" struck me as a "C" [emoji6]
Ditto. Looked like Cager to me too.

Here's the label that I came up with for my Edelweiß, which I will be brewing later this week -
I had considered a few classic Alpine scenes, but this one struck close to home, and I decided to go with it. I like the image of a young robin - a harbinger of spring here in Montana - anxiously waiting for spring (which is often late in Montana) as an Edelweiß flower emerges from the snow.
