Newest Label for my NZ Pilsner

My problem is coming up with names for my beers. I have a house brown I literally call 'Brown Beer'. My amber is called 'Amber'. My Honey Nut Cheerios lager is called 'Beerios' around the house, so that may stick.

General Mills is gunna hit you with the cease and desist… “stop naming your beers after our cereal” lol
 
This is great! Also shout out to Riwaka + Nelson Sauvin, so good
Thank you! My original recipe was Riwaka and Nelson. This year I brought in Motueka to pull more fresh citrus/lime character, and it certainly did its job
 
Been lurking in this thread for a while but never made a label yet. Why? Still searching for a brewery "identity". Too much pressure! lol
Try to find something in your life that is unique to you and have fun with it. An inside joke that only you and a couple friends know. Something that means something to you.

I’ve been having fun naming beers and making labels out of Beatles songs. I figure I must be a third generation Beatles fan and I’m the only kid in our family who is. Though I’m making song labels I would still be hard pressed for a name. I can’t say Beatles brewery.

One of the best ones I saw in the what are you drinking thread says “Flyover Brewery.” I thought that was pure genius.

Everybody has their own thing.
 
I have really enjoyed this thread and it got me messing around with Canva. A graphic designer friend of mine is pulling her hair out at my work, but to me, that makes it all the more special. And I have noticed that when I share my brews, folks think the ones with "classy" labels taste better than the ones that come out of a plain brown bottle with a sticker on the top. Plus it gives me something to do while I am waiting for a carboy to open up. Here is some of my work:

Long time lurker, first time poster.
All my labels were designed to be copied in black and white photocopier. This assumption led me to the punk aesthetics of the stencils and fanzines: black, white, gray, simple forms that do not lose their attractiveness when reproduced in the simplest and cheapest way.
Everything is compiles in Inkscape with additional help from GIMP.
Take a look & feel free to comment.

And my most beloved polish hop in almost single hop version: "Mostly Oktawia Pale Ale" is the name.

This afternoon we'll be drinking this:

297 Buster.png

We a hoping this comes out like Civil Life Brewing's American Brown. Buster Brown Shoes, like Civil Life Brown, is a St. Louis product, though the cartoon character Buster Brown was not known for his civility. If you're too young to remember Buster Brown shoes: "Get off my lawn!!" 😛

(@DBhomebrew and @Brews and Blues, I'll report results in a day or two.)
