Here are a few interesting beer labels that were recently approved.

La Sirène Brewing is pretty unique with a focus on classic Belgian and French Farmhouse styles ales, based in Melbourne Australia. When I think of Australian beer I foolishly think Foster’s, not “small batches of unfiltered and unpasteurised beer, retaining the greatest amount of flavour and character…our bottled beers are naturally conditioned by refermentation and…

This month’s beer label has been around even longer than last month’s Sierra Nevada Hoptimum label. Quite a bit longer actually. North Coast Brewing has been making Scrimshaw since they got started in 1988. From Wikipedia: Scrimshaw is the name given to scrollwork, engravings, and carvings done in bone or ivory. Typically it refers to…

Sierra Nevada‘s newest beer label recently made news because of a skirmish with Lagunitas, but I’m not here to talk about that label today. Instead lets take a look at a Sierra Nevada label that has been around for years. Created by artist Nate Duval, the Hoptimum label is one my favorite beer labels ever.…

I came across Cerveja Stannis on the fantastic Oh Beautiful Beer blog. Stannis’ labels are all similar, with the great beer name font as the focus. They each have a unique image at the bottom and the stylish brewery log on the bottle neck. It’s hard to pick a favorite because they are all great,…

Three Heads Brewing is from Rochester NY, and they have a lineup of great labels. Those are just a few. Their web site isn’t the best for viewing the label art but check out a Google Image search for Three Heads Brewing. Lots of good stuff there. My favorite of their labels is the Bromigo…

Most of Fountain Square Brewery‘s bottles have a consistent label design with a periodic table symbol, the beer style clearly shown with the same font, and some pleasing artwork. All of them look really nice and it makes for consistent branding, but my favorite of their labels is Soul Ride’s, which diverges from this norm.…

Gigantic Brewing is one of many small breweries in Portland Oregon, but they help set themselves apart with their fantastic labels. I’ve never had any of their beers so I’ll have to take their word on their claim of making “the best damn IPA in Portland.” The label for their Gigantic IPA isn’t bad but I…

I really like the serigraphed simplicity of all of Tröegs‘ labels. They remind me of local Chico artists Jake Early. Tröegs, located across the country in Hershey Pennsylvania, was started by brothers Chris and John Trogner in 1997. Nugget Nectar is an Imperial Amber, which isn’t a BJCP style but sounds delicious. Nugget Nectar is…

Well, alrighty then. Oh…OK, hmmmm. So, yeah this week we’re going with Half Acre’s Big Hugs Imperial Stout. The art work is by @Phineas A.K.A. Phineas X. Jones. It would seem he is a rather strange fellow. Half Acre is a small brewery in Chicago. Phineas has done a number of labels for Half Acre…
