Beer Labels

Beer labels are a unique and personal way of showing off your hard work and keeping track of your beer, mead and wine bottles. Are you proud of your homebrewed beer, mead or wine? Do you have so many bottles of beer that it is hard to keep track of them all?

I've always made my own homebrew labels. I've even entered them in WineMaker magazine's annual competition. I was lucky enough to win an Honorable Mention in 2006 contest for my Elderberry Wine label, and an editor's choice selection in 2008 for my mead label I Scream-Chili Mead (it's not on the website but did appear in the magazine).

There are many other homebrewers, meadmakers, and winemakers that would love to make their own custom labels but for various reasons don't. With this page, I'd like to give them some inspiration so they can see how easy it is and how cool their labels can look. I've included a few of my homebrewing labels and wine labels here to get an idea of how easy it is. Just about any graphics software will work. I have been using Print Shop for years and it seems to work fine. when I finally learn to use Photoshop, I'll be able to really make some cool beer labels. If you have some labels you are proud of and would like to share with other homebrewers, enter your label information and upload the picture. It will show up in its own webpage, how cool is that?

Do you make your own beer labels? How about sharing them with other homebrewers to give them some ideas for their own labels. I'll start it off with some of my labels for beer, mead and wine.
