Beer Labels

I'm currently working on a beer labeling project, and have had to do a lot of research to see what kind of labels are out there. I have a rather large Pinterest board devoted to beer labels: http://pinterest.com/caitmcelroy/beer-labels/ but here are some of my favourites:

Blood Alley from Russell Brewing Company

This was the only image I was able to find of the bottle being black, so I don't know if it's a desaturated photo or a special edition version, but I love the bottle regardless. The name, the ax icon and the pig with butchering lines makes for a very eye-catching beer label.

Gluten Free Pale Ale from Scotts Brewing Co

I love the simplicity of this design, and the fact that it's not a traditional paper label. The white text gives the brand a very clean and crisp look.

The design of this beer brand is similar to the one above, but they've used a coloured neck band instead, which sets the different beer flavours apart, and gives it more personality.
