    What do your labels look like? Any picture you're planning on using?


    Here's one I'll be using:

    I plan on coming up with 3 new labels for my wedding beers next May. (Mango IPA, Hibiscus wheat, Barleywine with Pappy soaked oak chips.

    I really like this one that I found. I'm gonna modify it a bit but it's gonna be the same basic thing. And it's gonna be a cedar IPA instead of Oak.

    Would you mind sharing your hibiscus wheat recipe? I tried making one with hibiscus leaves in the boil but it didn't come out like I wanted it.

    That's awesome. One time I made a post asking people to come up with Futurama-themed beer names on the old BA site, and there were some pretty good ones. Nibbler's Dark Matter, Brannigan's Lager (as in Brannigan's Law), Leela's Eye P.A, Scruffy's Mop Bucket... I wish I could remember more, there were a few that were deep in Futurama nerdiness.

    My homebrew partner says we should use a photo of me for the label of our Old Stoner Barleywine.

    BTW, did not make the name up, it's a great, old recipe.

    Well, if you're into Futurama you could find an appropriate recipe for this one:

    I'm thinking a super hoppy DIPA.

    I am very boring when it comes to labels. I just use text on avery labels.

    I use post-it notes and a sharpie.

    I'm not very creative.

    Kif Krieker (instead of Kif Kroker).


    Also, here's a label that my friend made for me, it's a print from a woodcut. I like it because can change the colors and hand-write the name of the beer.
