finished up 2 of the labels for our annual holiday beer: the peacemaker - vanilla bourbon imperial porter, and abominale snowman's revenge - winter spiced belgian ale.

had some silver wax from last year's abominale so we mixed that in to get the metallic red for this year. both were printed on 50% recycled paper, I always like the flecks in the stock and the soft texture. peacemaker got a scalloped edge on one side and a true red wax dip as an homage to our favorite kentucky bourbon which was added to the brew during fermentation. it also has a spot for the bottles to be hand numbered (only 22 were bottled). if anyone is curious, we named it "peacemaker" in reference to the movie "silver bullet," not to wyatt earp.

abominale back label

abominale got a back label for all my words, no bottle numbering, but it does reference the 24 bottle limited edition. should be a festive holiday with these around. check out the beer blog here berrillmaker.blogspot.com
