Why the names?

[Jester369]

if you've gotta ask, then you're not nearly obsessed enough.

That's a new sig quote for me right there

 

[Grinder12000]

I was named - was not my doing but as soon as I started to pass brew around my friends came up with Grinders Island (we had a big flood and I Was on an island).

 

[GilaMinumBeer]

I'd also like to add my name to the petition for a picture of Penguin's wife's ****.

But since the topic here is about labels, he can use any womens **** and say it's his wifes. Of course, that takes an entirely different forum for that.

Then again, when she says 'one of her ****s' she could be referring to one of the men in her family... Maybe 'Big Jug' is her brother who is a ****...

The logo, making tap handle labels is 60% for the fun. I even have a web site for mine.

P.S. Posthumous Pale Ale is not mine, I stole it from this board along with the idea of adding some red food coloring. Thanks to whoever you where. I cant remember.

 

[Danek]

I agree with most of what's been said before (particularly the stuff about ****s).

In addition, a lot of people over here are wary of drinking homebrew, as it still has a reputation for tasting like skanky brown piss. But whereas some people are reluctant to drink liquid from a mysterious unmarked brown bottle, they seem much happier to drink from a bottle with a nice brewery label on it. Go figure.

Why do men have nipples? (Mine are called Gary and Harry BTW)

Mine are named Larry, Darryl and Darryl.

I don't think it's too cool to steal someone elses label without permission, stick it on a website of YOUR labels and not even mention the owner and that you did not create it.

 

[ShortSnoutBrewing]

I was going to give evandam the benefit of the doubt and thinking the RECIPE wasn't his, but then I saw this as one of the labels:

Something tells me this is already being used....

Wow evandam, that's pretty shady. At least if you're going to steal logos from HBT members claiming them as your own, don't post your website here!

I never claimed them as my own. (edit: I did miss the dissident one and I'm sorry about that) I said in the original post that they where not mine. I use them for tap handle labels. I'm going to take those two off the site until I can find who did then and note it on the site. Is that still "Shady"?

Again I had no intention of claming I made those two labels. As per my first post I pointed it out. Now if I had said nothing I could understand the uproar.

Question - I don't draw any of the art work and I'm sure 99% of us out here dont, where are all the "I didn't draw this disclaimers" Is that not sort of the same thing?

Edit: Site is updated with a disclaimer that I did not personally draw any of the pictures. The two I didn't put together have been removed for now until I can find the owners to give proper credit. And I can unequivocally say that the ones left are of my design.

I did not intend to be "Shady", Sorry.

 

[Borisbbadd]

I always make names and lables for my wines and beers, but damn, I forgot to name my nipples................................

 

[Gonefishing]

You'd just have to check. I was going to just have the wife etch it (logo is black and white with red lettering). But then figured I'd rather have it screen printed with the black, red and just clear where white is. I've not looked into it for real yet. Still have to finish kegerator and then do a bar. Not looking like anytime soon.

Why not have a vinyl sign guy do it for you? I'm betting it would be a ton cheaper and look just as good plus they could just read it off a disk or CD and print it out

This is the correct answer.

I understand you didn't claim them all on here as yours, but the webiste itself said "My Labels". I wasn't trying to be a jerk. I just wouldn't like seeing a label I spent alot of time on being claimed by someone else. Now I also do not do all the drawing of graphics for my labels, but find images and redo them to fit my label. I think it's different using a picture as part of a label you design, and just copying a label someone else created and putting it on your page of labels with no note about the belonging. Now I wouldn't put "created by whatshisname" on the tap handle in your house or anything. But something open to the public forum I would note it.

It didn't say "My Labels". I can see how that could be inferred, but it did not say that.

I know you where not trying to be a jerk, it was an error in judgment on my part that I have rectified. Thanks. I guess I just felt the need to point out that I was not trying to be purposefully "Shady".

Anyway I consider it finished at this point, Thanks again for the ethics check.

Too many brews going in my brewshop to try and name them all. I gave up on labels (and cleaning them off bottles) by my 4th batch...nearly 100 batches ago.

usually it's just an iteration of:
Stout I,
Stout II brewed 11-24-07
Stout II brewed 07-15-08

And when I get the recipe right and ready to serve in public or publish the recipe...then I name it.

So this weekend I'll be brewing my "Beyond a Shadow of a Stout" in time for holiday parties.


Batch Size: 11.00 gal
Boil Size: 13.69 gal
Estimated OG: 1.045 SG
Estimated Color: 29.3 SRM
Estimated IBU: 25.4 IBU
Brewhouse Efficiency: 76.0 %
Boil Time: 60 Minutes


Amount
12.00 lb Pale Malt, Maris Otter (3.0 SRM)
3.50 lb Barley, Flaked (1.7 SRM)
1.00 lb Chocolate Malt (250.0 SRM)
1.00 lb Roasted Barley (300.0 SRM)
0.50 lb Black (Patent) Malt (500.0 SRM)
0.50 lb Cara-Pils/Dextrine (2.0 SRM)
2.00 oz Goldings, East Kent [5.50%] (60 min) IBU
1.00 oz Goldings, East Kent [5.50%] (20 min)

Dunno. Why do they name boats? Or Dogs? Your Truck? Your Mnahood? Or Gnome Nipples? Or the beer itself?

Really which is more fun:

"Hey, have you had batch # 62 from Corner-of-the-basement-by-the-water-heater-brewery?"
or
"Hey nave you had The Mutts Nuts from Whack Job Brewing?"

We do it because it makes us smile (and probably to prove we're clever)

So I'm gonna give Mr. Happy a scratch, fire up the Orange Blossom Special, roll home to the Hangin' Ten Ranch, pop a pint of Bifurcated Brethren and see if I can get a little One-on-Two time with hooter and scooter.

ROFL!! Just about died laughing in the middle of my office.

Dont tell the office though.....I was never here >>insert ::shifty eyes::<<

Wow.. I'm surprised you even asked this. I guess my shock mostly comes from the revelation that you are not so caught up in this hobby that you would embrace to the fullest extent the creative aspect of being able to name your brewery and come up with clever little beer titles and the like. I think it's one of the coolest aspects of the hobby, let alone the authentication it lends to your finished product, if only for selfish reasons.
