Beer Labels..
Hello,
I am looking to label my christmas beer and give to friends and family as a christmas present. However, my printer is broken so i cannot print my own.
So does any body know of a website where i can upload pictures and order labels etc?
Thanks in advance..
Neil

Blimey!
Cheers Tony that is very kind of you... i've searched every where for some where in the UK but they're only interested if you're a business and don't do anything for the small home brewer.
There are times when i wish we were like America they certainly know how to do things.
Tony i will have a look for you email and will send you my design. Do you have a PayPal account? I will put some money into it for doing that.

Hi Neil
all done and in the post. I had to guess the size as it was difficult to tell from the powerpoint doc. I had to move things around a bit but please let me know if they are way out and I'll redo them.
I did the second design, hope they're ok!

May be a business opportunity here - small run print jobs!

Tony,
I received them today and they're blinding! I am really chuffed with them. Will be sticking them on my bottles soon.
Thank you so much for doing that it really is appreciated.
I must admit i think there is a business opportunity there too. Hmmmmm fancy teaming up and seeing whether the Dragons would invest?

There's definitely a market for that sort of thing. I know someone who does short printing runs from his PC & printer, business cards, pub menus, invitations, posters, flyers, that sort of stuff.

I'll post a picture on here shortly... but i am impressed with the job done.
I've let a few people taste a bottle and reports are it's lovely... tastes like Christmas pudding... well chuffed with it all.
Next brew hopefully, this weekend GW's Golden Delicious.

that looks great, well done to the beermaker and label printer! How does it taste? (the beer not the label)

I made it at the back end of August hard to believe where time goes...
But i cracked one open at the end of September and it was a little green still. So i've left it until last week to try one and wow! It was lively when i opened the lid so i was pleased with that. But the tastes were awesome in my humble opinion. A real winter spice flavour you could just make out the orange, cloves and cinnamon.. couldn't taste the nutmeg. The Mouteka hops came through or at least i think that was the Mouteka and it left a really nice dry finish afterwards. So i am really looking forward to seeing how this tastes again in another couple of weeks time. Of course if i can hold out until then, which we all know being beer makers is almost impossible when we get a decent beer behind our belts. It gives you that warm feeling only an 8.5% beer can give you.
If i get around to it i will put the recipe up....
Happy Days

Love the labels, and the sound of the beer. Have you posted the recipe? I had a quick search on santa but nothing came up. Orange, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg...christmas in a glass!

Could you imagine virtual beer that you could actually drink. I would never get any work done, you know that window would be in the background.

Ian,
This recipe came about quite by chance... Unfortunately i didn't put the recipe up on the forum either. I wish i could remember what i used.
If you click on this link http://www.brewuk.co.uk/forum/topic/2-ag-father-in-lawquestions#post-7110null/urlMorning then you might get some idea of the ingredients. But as for quantities i am not sure.
Oh and if you click on this link http://www.brewuk.co.uk/forum/topic/could-be-a-very-merry-christmas then will give you an idea of the ingredients that i put in during secondary fermentation too.
Hope this helps?
Neil

Your beer arrived safe and sound today Neil .... thank you! Really looking forward to trying it but leaving it for a couple of days to settle!
I'll let you know when I'm settling down with it at the weekend!
Thank you!

Hey Neil
Had the beer yesterday evening - it really is superb, a real winner. Had the sweet edge of a well balanced strong beer (and by god does it have a kick) along with a lovely lingering bitterness from the hops. All the christmas spices come through and has an unmistakable 'christmas pudding' quality.
I thoroughly enjoyed it, well done Neil, outstanding brewing!
Even looked great!

Just bottled my Golden Delicous 28 bottles!!! My god Christmas is going to be a good one this year...
