Hi guys.
I always look for a suitable anniversary when bottling my beer. So here is my latest label:

I'm hoping I can bottle my next Elderflower on 27 July 2016, so I can celebrate the 136th anniversary of the battle of Maiwand, Afghanistan.

Please post in your designs to inspire us all.

Looking forward to seeing some interesting artwork

Simon

I love the idea of finding a random anniversary to name the beer & will definitely used this idea on some future brews.
I've really enjoyed making up silly names/labels for my beers since getting some advise from a forumite (laser printed & stuck on with milk), but usually use something about the beer as inspiration for the name.

Here's my latest effort for my centennial single hop APA fermented with Vermont ale yeast

I only usually fill 6 or 7 bottles from each batch with the rest going in a corny. The bottles tend to get given away to friends & family, hence the storing & pouring guidance on the label.

: cheers:

I don't bother with labels (but might soon because my bottles are building up), but anything that isn't straight from a recipe gets a name from my music collection.

I name all of mine after places / street I've lived on, with some variation on a map as the image.

this is going to be my next one:

made these mostly in MS Word - I am only labelling the ones I give to other people, no point bothering for myself

Wilfy · Jul 4, 2016

Started working on this on Friday. Neither me or my designer are happy with it so it is back to the drawing board this week.

A couple of Star Wars themed ones, a few that aren't. The labels are made in GIMP with various images rendered from the interwebs and then transposed into Word and printed on labels.

Some very nice stuff on here!

This is where I'm currently at with my Mexican cerveza label... thinking I might splash some colour on it (or not - haven't decided yet!).

Cwrw666 · Jul 7, 2016

I have been known to do a label for a specific brew but to be honest, what's the point? - it's gone so fast...
So recently I made a generic label for my `brewery' with a blank space for writing on the beer type etc.
Just for bottles I might be giving away.

Here are some of the labels i've done to date

Loving some of these, @ezraburke the Star Wars ones are particularly awesome

If you want something simple/easy but perhaps limited then:

https://www.beerlabelizer.com/

But if you wanted unlimited control and were willing to spend time/effort there's something called inkscape which is also a free download
