Wedding Beer Labels

The wedding I brewed all those beers for came and went a few weeks ago. I wasn't well enough to make it on the day but I heard it was a pretty fantastic afternoon. The weather was certainly perfect for it. I figured it was worth posting up the awesome labels designed by Shiloh, a friend since primary school and the wife of Will, one of my brewing assistants. We called the Pilsch a Kolsch on the label to avoid confusion for the guests.

Birthday Beer Labels

I didn't have the time or energy to label all the beers for Jason's birthday but I wanted to give Jason a few that were nicely packaged. So I made up a template that I'll use when I want to label my brews and filled in the details. It's not especially pretty, it turns out I'm not a graphic designer, but it is neat.

6 pack holder should have dinosaurs.

Making bottle labels

I like the idea of being able to do graphic design but I'm not so good with the execution. Somehow though, doing labels for batches of home brew is fun even if they're not amazing. Actually, it's the same with naming beers, It takes me ages but I enjoy making a complete package and giving it some personality.

My first go. BR stands for Bultman's Reserve. I send out a some beers every couple of months to a group of my beer loving friends.

What I'm planning for the June release:
