Josh has been homebrewing beer for quite a while now – since I bought him this kit last Christmas. One early explosion disaster aside the brews have all been very tasty, and he’s quickly graduated from using a kit into buying individual malts and hops to make specific flavours and styles.
For his latest one – a summery IPA – he let me design the label. I hand-drew the whole thing and just adjusted and coloured in Photoshop. I got them printed onto clear vinyl by the nice folks at Diginate.
The brew was supposed to be a celebration of our new garden, but a lot of setbacks have meant that it’s still a work in progress… anyway, the labels came out nice and I’m looking forward to enjoying one in the garden when it’s finally finished. I just hope that summer isn’t quite over yet…
Love the label – did you letter it yourself?
Yup, I’ve just added the initial hand drawing I did
These are lovely! What a cute idea!
Those labels are AWESOME. I would buy a bottle (or six) :)
Are you guys going to share the recipe?
Hi Shannon, you can find my rough recipe here: http://hopville.com/recipe/1481307

LOVE! why can’t every beer bottle look like this… Just checked out Diginate – they look like good people to know…
