New Beer Labels

I just put together a few new beer labels. The Iron Curtain, is a Russian Imperial Stout recipe which has been aging for nearly 7 months. I'm very pleased with how the beer and the label turned out. It's at the low gravity end of the Imperial stout range, which should also let me enter it as a Foregin Extra stout as well.

Temptress is a very delicious Robust Porter aged with chocolate nibs and vanilla beans. Both of these beers are now in the kegerator ready for games days next week.

Brownout was a name and label inspired by Steve, at the time I decided to go with The brown note, but I still like the name, and now I have 2 new browns. I recently brewed these up for the national homebrewing competition coming up next month.

One of the new browns is another English brown but a southern rather than a northern recipe like the brown note is based on. Both are very close and I may just pick my favorite and name it the official Brown Note.

I also have a Brown Porter, which is much closer to being a brown, than it is a stout like most other porters. But its distinctive enough to not be mistaken for one of the English browns, defiantly very tasty and worth brewing again.

  1. Even if the picture shows the Reichstag as burning and defeated, there's something really unnerving about beer with a swastika on the label.
